SAME FORMAT AS LAST YEAR:

We are not using timers or relay cards for PIRC. We will have finishing judges determine places 1-6 for each heat of each event and hand out ribbons accordingly. Ribbons will be pre-printed with the event name and slots to write in the members of the relay team receiving that place. Each participating PIRC team will need to provide ribbon writers to write in the names of swimmers from their teams.

MEET START TIME: 9:00 AM

ARRIVAL TIME: You may enter the pool at 7:00am to decorate your team area or the night before anytime between 7-9pm. If you are not decorating your team area, please have those swimmers and families arrive at 745am.

WARM-UP INFORMATION:

8:00 AM to 8:15 AM: Tallyho and Inverness

8:15 AM to 8:30 AM Old Farm and Rockshire

8:30 AM to 8:45 AM Regency Estates (and individual kids from each team who are running late)
