Lone Star 2011 important information & packet

RAPIDS PARENTS - PLEASE SEE NOTE & ATTACHMENT FROM THE LEAGUE OFFICE:

Qualifying Times Change

We have changed the Qualifying times for backstroke and Freestyle events (except the 500 Free). Please see the attached new Q times in red. Basically we added +5 seconds for 50’s, +10 for 100’s and + 20 for the 200 Free.

Lone Star Warm Up & Meet Start Time Changes

We may alter the start times for Lone Star once we determine the timeline from the number of swimmers we have. Therefore: All start times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Lone Star, whether AM, PM or Finals sessions, are not final until confirmed on the Monday before Lone Star. We are trying this new this year to possibly avoid the very long breaks and long days at Lone Star. Thursday will be unaffected.

So again, I will send out a final and confirmed schedule on the Monday before Lone Star, for Warm Up and Meet Start Times for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We are waiting until all entries are in before we decide this.
