Prelims / Finals
Just a reminder, Saturday & Sunday will be prelims / finals for the top 20 13 - 14 swimmers and top 20 Senior age groups.  11-12 age groups will be prelims / finals taking the top 10 at night.  Swimmers who do not intend to swim in finals must be scratched by their coach within 30 minutes of the event being announced so we can ensure that athletes wanting to swim in finals get the chance to do so.  Remember to check if your swimmer is in finals or is an alternate for finals before you leave the pool at the end of the preliminary sessions!

*The South Carolina scratch rule will be in effect at this meet.  A swimmer qualifying to swim in the A or B (consolation final) final race based upon the results of the preliminaries must notify the referee within thirty (30) minutes after the announcement of the qualifiers for that race that they may not intend to compete. Failure of an individual to compete in the final race of the individual event will result in the competitor being barred from further competition for the remainder of the meet.
