Split Times:Meet Management acknowledged the SO policy with banning the future use of split times as a official times and requires that any coach wishing to relay on a time achieved by the swimmer for an interval shorter that a total distance of the event shall so advise the Referee prior to the commencement of the session (or event) in question. In such a case, Meet Management and the Referee will undertake all appropriate steps as prescribed by their training to assure the quality and integrity of interval times.

Marshalling:The marshals have been instructed to control the deck areas and will ask the swimmers to remain on the marshalling benches until they are asked to report to their lanes. This will avoid difficulties for the timers. Horseplay and excessively noisy behavior in the marshalling areas will not be tolerated. The number of swimmers participating in this meet makes this imperative.
Coaches are required to stay well back on the pool deck to avoid interfering with the officials. The west side of the pool and bulkhead are out of bounds for swimmers and coaches at all times except for awards and presentations.
