Message from event organiser
Hello all,
The Scarborough SC Winter Open 2024 is just around the corner. Before we dive in, please take a moment to carefully review the following key information to ensure everything runs smoothly for everyone involved.
1. Poolside and Changing Room Rules
A quick but important reminder to all swimmers:
- Bags are NOT permitted on poolside.
- Phones should NOT be used in the changing rooms unless for medical reasons.
Any swimmer found in violation of these rules will be removed from the session. This is non-negotiable, so please ensure all swimmers understand and follow these rules for a safe and focused environment.
2. 800m & 1500m Events
For swimmers competing in the 800m and 1500m events, training times are permitted for any NT (No Time) entries. It is critical that these are entered accurately to ensure correct placement in heats. Please double-check all entries to avoid any complications.
3. Updating Swimming Times
It’s essential that all swimmers update their times before the event to ensure accurate heat placements. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to openmeets.co.uk
- Find Scarborough SC Winter Open 2024
- Click Entry List and locate your club
- Click Entries by Swimmer
- Hit the circular arrow to update
- Follow the instructions on the next page
- Open the rankings data in a separate tab (click “Click here” when ready)
- Press Ctrl + A (to select all), then Ctrl + C (to copy)
- Return to the entry page and Ctrl + V (paste) into the pink box
It only takes a couple of minutes, but it is vital for ensuring the entries are correct and all swimmers are properly placed in their heats.
4. Coaches’ Poolside Passes
Coaches: You should have already received an email with a Microsoft Form to fill out in order to receive your poolside pass. This form must be completed by all coaches who require a pass.
Important: Any coach who has not filled out this form will NOT be given a poolside pass—no exceptions. Please complete the form ASAP to avoid any last-minute issues.
5. Balcony Access and Cleaning
Parents, please note that the balcony must be cleared at the end of each session for cleaning purposes. This includes all personal belongings. We will reopen the balcony as soon as it is cleaned, but your cooperation in clearing the area quickly is essential.
Additionally, please remind all parents that access to the changing rooms will NOT be allowed during the meet, and that we are operating a cashless entry system. Please make sure any payments are made electronically prior to the event to ensure smooth entry.
6. Warm-Up Schedule
It’s going to be a fantastic weekend filled with exciting competition. Let’s make sure we’re all on the same page so we can focus on giving our best performances!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Scarborough SC Winter Open 2024! ????????
