State Swimming & Diving Competitor Seating

State Swimming & Diving Competitor Seating

With the new prelim/format and the addition of another heat of individual and relay qualifiers, we have no baseline as to what kind of crowd to expect this weekend. We do expect more spectators. 

WIth that in mind, we knew that the swimmers would not be able to camp out in the south bleachers as they have in past meets, which is why we are having teams camp in the gymnasium.  In the team information, it states that there is available seating in the east side bleachers of the natatorium for competitors. Swimmers may sit in that area to cheer on their teammates, but we would like them to go to the warm-up pool or the gym when their teammates aren't in the water so other teams can sit there and cheer on their teammates as well. 

I hope this eases some of the concerns the competitors, coaches and fans have expressed.
