The Swim Center is a beautiful brand new multi-pool swimming complex, with a Myrtha designed pool used during the main competition. There will be warm-up lanes offered both indoors and outdoors, with numerous lanes set aside for 65+ and sprints throughout the day. The current meet format will have Nationals running 2 x 10 lane SCY courses in the 50 meter pool, providing solid walls for both ends of the pool. Adjustable starting wedges are on the diving blocks/platforms, but backstroke ledges will not be in use. The sides of the pool have a zero edge for the water to roll over.
We had a Time Trial last weekend to ensure that we are prepared for Masters swimmers. It was a great success, with a few lessons learned along the way. We need to make the signage is BIGGER. We need to make Information posted BIGGER. We need to attach "cheater glasses with results" - to make them BIGGER. Swimmers loved-loved the pool! The facility is large enough to get lost in, so we will have extra volunteers to help you find your way. The deck around the pool will be clear of bags to allow easy access to the blocks. Everyone needs to keep their towels, sweats, bags, etc. at the ends of the pool or in their team areas. Safety Marshalls will be clearing the side decks of any misc. gear.
