Blog 2837: Rushmoore Gala 19-20/3/16

Dear Club Managers & Head Coaches.
We look forward to seeing you all at the RRSC Meet this coming weekend at Aldershot Garrison.
As you are aware, this Meet was over-subscribed and we still have a significant number of swimmers (& Swim Clubs) attending the Meet.
To help with the smooth running of the Meet and the comfort and safety of all swimmers, please could you we ask that you relay the information below to your swimmers (some of this information will also be in your Coaches Packs when you arrive with us):

- swimmers need to SIGN-IN for 400M events and reserve lists. If they do NOT sign-in by the start of the warm-up for that session, they will be withdrawn from the 400M event or removed from the reserve list.
- swimmers who decide NOT to swim in an event, need to inform their Swim Coach (or RRSC computer personnel if there is no coach present for their Club) of their withdrawal before the start of the warm-up for that session.
Club Coaches are asked to submit their withdrawal slips to the computer operators before the start of the relevant warm-ups (this will help to ensure that we do not have empty lanes in events and that reserves can be re-instated)
- please can swimmers NOT bring kit-bags poolside. Having kit-bags present will limit the space for swimmers to sit and could cause slips/trips hazards. There are some lockers on dry-side and some on the exit from the changing rooms to poolside.
We would also ask that kit bags are NOT given to accompanying parents/family members (again doing so will limit seating space which is at a premium).
-We have tried to accept as many swimmers as possible as we realise that there has been a shortage of L1 opportunities in the qualifying window this year but this means that the pool area will be crowded. If you are not swimming/do not have a child swimming in a session please leave the pool area and return for the session your swimmer is in.
The reserve list is attached and the accepted and rejected entries on our website have been updated to show reinserted swimmers notified last week.
 
Thank you in advance for your assistance and good luck to all swimmers this weekend.
