After this deadline the Committee will NOT be adding any additional teams. Entry confirmations will be emailed back to the team coaches and managers,who will have until Friday, June 1st to add, remove or reassign swimmers.
Please be reminded of the maximum events per swimmer: five (5). If coaches submit a swimmer with more than five events, the committee by default will scratch the lowest ranking INDIVDUAL event for that swimmer.
Please be reminded of the maximumentries per event per team: five (5) for 50M Freestyle and three (3) for all others. If coaches submit more than the maximum swimmers per event, the committee by default will scratch the slowest and NT swimmers.
