Dalton Dolphins at GRPA Districts - Saturday, June 29th

The meet is at Cherokee County Aquatic Center. Cherokee is going to host it combined with their State Qualifier.

Entries

The top 3 overall individual and relay finishers will advance to the GPRA State Championships in Columbus, Georgia. The results will be confusing to determine who made state because we are running two meets simultaneously. Sorry. It was the only option we had left to run this meet. We will communicate the qualifiers as soon as they are confirmed. It may be the following Monday before we have it sorted. Please be patient.

Directions

Warm-ups at 10:00 AM

Competition at 11:30 AM

This meet may be more crowded than last year. You might be able to stay inside, but we recommend setting up tents and chairs outside the crash area.

Cherokee may need some volunteer help, specifically timers and bullpen workers. Smyrna is going to help with the bullpen. I would love for some of our folks to help them, as they are experienced at running a bullpen, and we need some practice before the City Meet. Please sign up if you are willing to help.

City Meet Entries Open - Due Thursday, June 27th by 11:30 PM

Directions

REQUIRED COMPETITIONS

You must swim in two CASL dual meets to swim in the City Meet.

VOLUNTEERS

We are the host team, so we bear much of the volunteer burden. Volunteer positions will be open tomorrow.

Anyone who has been to City Meet will tell you to be prepared for hot, muggy weather and at least one good rain storm. Plan on delays due to weather. We WILL finish the meet. Bring shade, chairs, snacks, and drinks.

Remember! City Meet is a Prelim/Final Meet. If your swimmer finishes in the top 16 overall in their event, they get to come back at night and race in finals! If your swimmer's relay finishes in the top 8 overall, their relay gets to race in finals! There are a few timed final events. A timed final means they only swim the race in prelims. They score based on how they place in prelims. The timed final events are the six and Under 25 free and 25 back. The eight and under 50 free and 100 IM are timed finals. All 100 freestyles are timed finals.

Swim Caps

All swimmers must wear Dalton Dolphins caps. No Dolphins cap, no warm-up. No Dolphins cap, no race.

Swimsuits

CASL rules do not allow tie-back swimsuits. They also do not allow suits endorsing non-CASL teams. 12 and unders may not wear tech suits. If you don't know what a tech suit is, you don't have one. 13 and overs should not wear tech suits in prelims (except for the 100 free). However, 13 and overs should "suit up" for finals if they have a tech suit.

Schedule

Thursday, July 11th

4:00 PM Crash Area Move-In. You can bring your chairs and tents to set up in our Crash Area. It is better to do that the night before the meet starts.

It's set-up night! We need everyone to help set up tables, chairs, tents, and hospitality. We will begin pool set-up at 5:30 and run a practice for the swimmers from 6-7 PM.
