For inclement weather affecting practice or meets we will use the REMIND app to notify families of changes or cancellations.
Weather Delays
Every effort must be made to swim each meet as scheduled.
In the event of inclement weather, each team must show up at the pool on time.
If at 5:30 the weather still precludes the meet from starting, the two team representatives, two head coaches, and starter/referee will meet and decide whether to postpone or reschedule the meet.
Care for the safety of the swimmers and spectators should be of the utmost importance in deciding whether or not to continue competition. Every time lightning is heard or seen there is a new 30 minute wait period for safety.
IF the meet is delayed more than 30 minutes due to Inclement Weather
AND half the events have been completed (43 events)
AND there is a decisive winner (40 point lead or more),
THEN, the meet will be called and the leader takes the win.
IF the meet is delayed more than 30 minutes due to Inclement Weather
AND less than half the events have been completed (less than 43 events)
OR if there is no decisive lead (less than a 40 point spread),
THEN, one Parent Rep and one Coach from each team should:
Agree to continue the delay for an additional 15 minutes, OR
Agree to reschedule (if there is sufficient time remaining in the season), OR
Agree to a tie and both teams will be credited with a win.
If the meet is at or past Event 66 (end of 15-18 boys breastroke) and a team is ahead by 30 points or more and the meet can’t continue due to inclement weather that the meet will be called and the leader wins the meet.
