Distance Events

The meet is somewhat oversubscribed for Friday evening, so they are going to start the Friday session 30min early: 6:00pm warm up; 6:30pm start. Friday night's distance events will be swum fastest to slowest alternating one heat of 800 (2 per lane) with one heat of 1500 (2 per lane).They currently have 36 swimmers in the 1500 (6 full heats, i.e. 3 heats of 2 per lane), and 98 swimmers in the 800 (16 full heats, i.e. 8 heats of 2 per lane; plus 2 extra swimmers). Currently the last heat of the 1500 will end around 8:20pm, and the last heat of the 800 will end around 9:40pm. If there are any scratches at this point, especially in the 800 (2 scratches will save about 15min), please let Rod know so that he can inform the Meet Manager as soon as possible. 

Officials Still Needed

The ROCS swim club would greatly appreciate any additional assistance you could lend us for the following positions. Officials (and wannabe Officials) can sign up at the osoa.ca site. Thank you!!
Friday Night - Timekeepers!!! This is where we are most short. We are heavily recruiting on the streets of Ottawa due to the fact that we need 4 per lane.
