The swims will start at 6:45 and end at 7:45 each day. Swimmers and timers must arrive on the pool deck PROMPTLY at 6:30am to allow time for warm-up and orientation. Split sheets, entry forms, and watches will all be provided at the pool when you get there. I have 7 stopwatches but if you have a favorite watch which shows hundredths of a second even after 59 minutes running, feel free to bring it. If you plan to officially swim the race, both the swimmer and the verifier MUST sign the form. Please do this before the race starts. For your convenience, signs will be posted on the wall at the following time intervals: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 50 minutes, 55 minutes, 56, 57, 58, and 59 minutes. Also, we will hold up signs for swimmers showing distance in 500 yard increments. Please be aware that occasionally we will forget to display a sign. We will do our best to keep up with you. There is a trophy awaiting the person with the most even splits: the One Hour Steady Penguin Award! Take that first 50 out slow and you may join the ranks of the greats: Yvonne, Tracy, Jodi, and Peter! See if you can break Peter's pool record standard deviation of 0.5373. Or try to break a distance pool record. Shawn Jones holds the men's record at 5110 yards. Tracy Grilli holds the women's record at 4640 yards. But best of all, wouldn't it be great to surpass your very own total from last year! Good luck! |
