For coaches: Form for Observed Swim -
Click here for the form
The 2006 Illinois/Missouri Area YMCA Swim Championships will be an USA-S
Observed Swim under the jurisdiction of Wisconsin Swimming Inc. (the USA-S
LSC). Per their requirements for a sanctioned Observed Swim, all
coaches who have registered USA-S swimmers AND wish to have those swimmer's
times entered into the USA-S SWIMS database, must fill out
Form D and submit to our Meet Entry Chair no later than the conclusion
of the Scratch Meeting on Friday, March 10. Wisconsin Swimming is
requesting that when coaches submit their entries to include a valid USA-S
ID number for all registered USA-S swimmers that will have their times
loaded into the SWIMS database. For those non-USA-S swimmers, please
leave the ID number blank. Thank you for your cooperation.
UPDATE:
Please check the USA-S Reg ID numbers listed in the entries. These
numbers need to be correct for them to load into the USA-S database.
Reg IDs, team names and team codes must match the USA-S database for the
times to be loaded correctly. Therefore, every team that wants their
times entered in the USA-S Database MUST SUBMIT FORM D along with any
changes in Reg. ID, USA team name, or USA team code. Since I will need
to make all these changes by hand before submitting a back-up to Wisconsin
swimming, I am requiring that all changes or corrections be highlighted on
Form D. Corrections that are not highlighted may not get made.
If all the data is correct please submit Form D stating that no changes are
needed. If Form D has already been submitted but does not follow these
guidelines, please resubmit. Form D is due at the coaches meeting
Friday night. Thank you for your cooperation. --

Distance meet entry clarification
It has been brought to my attention that, in the past, it has been tradition
to allow swimmers to be added to the Distance meet if there were any open
lanes. This unwritten rule allows swimmers to enter Friday night
events up until warm-ups begin. We will continue with the tradition
this year. Any swimmer who wants to be added to Friday night should
report to the computer room before the start of warm-ups at 5:00pm. No
late penalty will apply. Thank you for your understanding and
flexibility with this matter.
Warm-up lane
assignments and timer lane assignments posted
[Uploaded 3.09.06]
Coaches, please review your team's lane assignments for warm-ups and check
to see if and when you will be required to provide timers (see links above).

Time Trial entry
information [Updated 3.02.06]
Attention coaches: Time trial entries will be due by the completion of
the 500 Yard Freestyle (Event 30) during the prelim session of each day of the meet. Entry forms
for time trials will be included in the coaches packets, which will be distributed Friday
night at the coaches meeting. Forms will need to be filled out and
submitted to the computer room along with the appropriate fees by the end of
the 500 Yard Freestyle events during the prelim session. Late entries
for those events after the 500s will only be allowed if they are submitted
immediately following the event. For example, entries for the Back
must be submitted right after the Back, entries for the Breast right after
the Breast and Freestyle Relay entries by the conclusion of the prelim
session. No time trial entries will be accepted after the conclusion
of the prelim session. Please direct any questions or concerns to the
meet referees Dean Bromann (Dean.A.Bromann@saint-gobain.com)
and Dennis Norton (norton@dls.net).
Photographer
information
This year, TRC Photo
will be taking podium/award and action photos at the Illinois/Missouri Area
YMCA Championship Swim Meet. The award/podium shots may be ordered at
the time they are taken. The action shots are available on a more
limited basis and must be pre-ordered. TRC will be taking photos of
only one swimmer per heat, based on when the order was received. You
will receive all of the photos from the heat on a CD and will have unlimited
printing rights. All CD's are guaranteed if there are no acceptable
pictures.
There are two ways to pre-order: The first and best way is to go to
www.trcphoto.com. This will
reserve your order early, and there is a $5.00 discount. Once you have
done this, be sure to print the receipt and bring it to the meet to verify
your time of order. Online orders are $20.00. The second way to
order is to visit the TRC Photo table and order before the heat your child
is swimming in. The sooner your order is placed, the more time they
have to schedule you in. Orders placed at the meet are $25.00.
Upon placing your order, you must let them know what event, heat and lane
they need to photograph. Please visit the website,
www.trcphoto.com, for more
information, samples, or to contact them with questions.

The

Road construction
There is currently road construction happening around the Carthage campus,
with the expectation that it will continue through March. It is
estimated that we will be using the south entrance of the campus for the Y
Area Champs meet. The college has set up a website with details and
updates regarding this road construction: http://www.carthage.edu/security/sheridan.html.
Cool way to scope out the area
Google introduced a program called Google
Earth, which is a 3-D interface of the entire planet using satellite
images. You can scan and scroll around the globe and zoom into
surprisingly tight detail, search an address, and toggle the display of
restaurants, hotels, names of roads, and a number of other locations of
interest. The
only reason I mention it is because it's an awesomely useful way to scope
out an area you've never been before, to find your bearings and learn
directions and attractions. It's a free program; just go to http://earth.google.com
and download the file (10MB).
Welcome to the
website
This is the place to visit for everything you'll want to know before, during, and
after the Y Area Champs meet. I'll activate the links and add meet
information as it becomes available. Hotel information is now
available on the hotel page. Information on surrounding restaurants
and attractions will be forthcoming. For
starters, you can visit the Carthage
College website for some information on local attractions and
dining. I welcome any feedback you may have regarding the website;
just drop me an e-mail. |
