touch the water (3-point entry), except for starts, which are limited to specified lanes.

swimmer or their legal guardian to make such arrangements prior to the start of the meet.
SN Rule: Each team shall, by the entry deadline, provide to the Meet Director a list of Officials who have agreed
to represent that team during the conduct of the meet. One half-hour before the scheduled start of
the meet, the Meet Referee shall conduct an inventory of Officials comparing the number of entries
against the number of Officials present to represent each team. Those teams who have not provided
sufficient Officials shall have all their swimmers treated as “time only” in all respects for that session.ELIGIBILITY: No swimmer will be allowed to compete unless the swimmer is a member of USA swimming as
provided in Article 302. Entrants without a current Registration number on their entries must present

over may enter 13-18 events but will not be scored. No minimum time standard is required to enter
an event. Swimmers with no official time for an event may enter that event with an estimated time.
