1. If you have not yet registered with USMS for 2009, you must go to http://registration.usms.org There you will be able to use VISA or MC to pay the $40 fee to be a member of the Maryland LMSC. You will not be able to use the online system (nor swim in the meet) if you are not registered with USMS in 2009.
2. Online entry for the 500 free is closed. As of 3:45pm, there are still 2 slots left. If you would like to enter 1 of the 2 remaining slots, please email me at marko@... and include your seed time (note: we are not accepting "No Time"). Please do so only after you have entered your other events through the online process.
3. Other events may be entered online from our event page on http://maryland.usms.org. Online meet entry closes at 9:00pm Friday evening. Final heat sheets will be posted on our website on Friday at around 10:00pm under the direct link to this event:
4. The 400 Medley Relay is the first event at this meet. Relay entry cards are available on our website under the "Swim Meets" tab or directly at
It would
greatly help if coaches could come to
the meet with these cards already filled out. Cards for the medley relay will be due by 11:30am!! Please print your card on card stock if available.
5. Finally, a change has been made regarding the check-in process. Previously, we have required all swimmers to check-in before meet start. Several have asked for a change due to the size of this meet, where some swimmers intend only to swim in later events.
We still need you to come to the registration table to check-in -- but you may do so throughout the meet. This way, swimmers who have entered only the 400 IM (the last event) need not show up hours in advance just for check-in.
See you in the pool,
Mark.
