Mel, Since your first posting on 1/24, two itmes appeared to be changed/corrected from the first version of information provided on the YMCA site. They are; #1.) the cost of the surchage is now $30 not $40 as previously stated and #2.) the start time is 8 AM not 9 AM as previously indicated. Can you confrim that this is correct. Thank you

First and foremost I am pleased to hear they have made the changes I have been trying to corrrect for some time....Yes, the surcharge per swimmer is $30 and the meet starts each day at 8:00am, with warmups at 6:30am...My apologies for any inconvenices you may have been caused... Mel

Hi Mel, No apologies necessary. Just wanted to make sure that the information was current thus making it easier for you. See you in 9 weeks. Thank you

We will probably keep the registration area open until the last heat of the 1650 Freestyle events which more than likely be beyond the listed 11:00am in the entry... Mel

Hi Mel, I noticed that registration on Thursday ends at 11 a.m. Alot of swimmers are not in the 1650 and 1000 on Thurs. and will be arriving after 11 a.m. Is it possible to extend registration on Thursday so there is not a mad rush for check-in on Friday morning?
