Clerk of Course

The Clerk of Course will be staged at the north-end of the pool behind the fence. As events are called, swimmers should report to the check-in area at the far end of the tent. Swimmers ages 13 and over do not need to be seated in the staging area for prelims. Instead, they should check in and walk through the Clerk of Course tent to report to their assigned lanes. All relays must check in.

Thursday- Preliminary races for swimmers ages 11 and up: Report to the Clerk of Course when your event is called. Swimmers ages 11-12 will be seated in their assigned heats and lanes.

Friday- Preliminary races for swimmers ages 10 and under: All events will be staged in the Clerk of Course area. Swimmers should report for check-in when their event is called. Each swimmer will be given a sticker or card with his/her name, event, heat, and lane number. Volunteers will seat the swimmers in the appropriate chairs and then transfer them to the starting blocks. Swimmers should be informed of the importance of these stickers and should take care not to lose them.

Saturday- Finals and all relays: All swimmers must report to the Clerk of Course area. Swimmers ages 13 and over in individual events may proceed to their assigned lanes after reporting. There will be a spot outside of the Clerk of Course area for each team to organize their relays. Each relay team will be given a card containing event, heat, and lane information. Only complete relay teams will be allowed to enter the staging area. We recommend that each team designate a parent volunteer to help each 10 and under relay.

Announcements for upcoming events will be made over the public address system and in the tent areas. It is the swimmer’s responsibility to report to the staging area on time.
