MEET FORMAT
WAIVER:
The host club has the right to change the format of
the meet with the approval of the sanctioning chairman and age group or senior
chairman. These changes would be made
for a more efficient swim meet for the swimmers and the host club. Reasons for these changes would be: to allow more swimmers to swim; to conform
to facility capacity limits or for facility safety concerns; to condense the
meet into smaller time frame.
