To All: Coaches, Team Managers and competitors.
Many thanks for your entries, we look forward to welcoming you to Crook Log Leisure Centre on the weekend of the 7th and 8th March. Here is the final entry report: spring meet accepted entries.pdf. This report lists all swimmers by club and then by name. Please take a moment to check your entries. If there are any errors, let me know before the competition as mistakes are much easier to fix in advance of the day. In addition, you can view start sheets for all sessions here:

Each warm-up period will be divided into 15 minute periods with each period comprising of 10 minutes continuous lane swimming and 5 minutes of one-way sprint lanes. Poolside will be extremely busy so please check the warm-up schedules and aim to arrive shortly before your allotted warm-up time.
Signing out / withdrawals
Anyone wishing to withdraw from an event or events should e-mail [email protected] by the start of the warm-up for the relevant session. It is extremely easy for swimmers not to sign-out but those not doing so leave empty lanes and wasted session time for everyone involved. We do have a very full weekend of swimming planned so please show respect for others at the meet by making every effort to let us know you are withdrawing from an event or events. A final list of seeded entries will be available to view on Meet Mobile shortly after the start of the warm-up of each session and we will also post printed copies of the heat sheets on poolside and issue copies to coaches and team managers. Please note that entries are non-refundable, although any competitors who withdraw through injury (supportive medical evidence is required) in advance of the start of the meet may be entitled to a refund.Officials
As always, we are only able to successfully run our meet with help from qualified officials. Any officials who are available and willing to help out should register via the following link: https://www.swim-meet.com/Availability/?m=8431 . Should they have any questions then they should make contact with the EDSC Officials Coordinator, Daniel O'Connell: [email protected]
Marshalling
Marshalling will take place in the area just outside the changing village. When swimmers are called to marshalling, they will need to gather in this area and should wear appropriate footwear (poolside shoes) and clothing. The marshalling area can be very busy and we ask that Team Managers accompany swimmers to the area and ensure they are aware of what heat they are in, especially those competing for the first time.
Results & awards
Results will be published throughout the day on Meet Mobile. Medals are awarded to the fastest 3 swimmers in each stroke / distance plus the IM’s in the
following age groups: 10yrs, 11yrs, 12yrs, 13yrs, 14yrs, 15yrs and 16 & over.
following age groups: 10yrs, 11yrs, 12yrs, 13yrs, 14yrs, 15yrs and 16 & over.
Mobile Phones
Swimmers are reminded of the Wavepower guidelines on changing rooms: usage of a mobile phone or device in the changing rooms is prohibited.
Poolside Guidance
Swimmers should leave poolside as soon as they have completed their events. Those arriving for the following sessions should not come on to poolside until the previous session has finished. Hire conditions and limited poolside space at Crook Log mean that swimmers must not bring large bags and chairs on to poolside. Large bags should be stored in the changing village lockers which take a £1 coin and are refundable. Competitors must only bring a small bag on to poolside containing essential equipment.
Spectators
The spectator entry is £5.00 per session and includes a raffle strip. You will be issued a colored wristband for re-entry. We are able to accept cash or contactless card payments. Spectators who are staying for multiple sessions will be able to buy multi-session tickets at a reduced price. Whilst it is lovely to see wider family members in the balcony, we ask that on this occasion, spectators are limited to one to two per swimmer/family. If everyone abides by this guidance, it should allow us to accommodate all that want to watch.
Refreshments
The cafeteria at Crook Log will be open all day, serving hot and cold drinks and food. Refreshments for Officials, Coaches and Team Managers will be provided throughout the weekend in the creche, which is located behind the reception desk. As we only have very short intervals between the end of sessions 2 & 3 / 3 & 4, the buffet will be open for Coaches and Team Managers around 30 minutes before the end of sessions 2 and 3.
Crook Log car park
There is ample free parking at Crook Log. Unfortunately, there is only one exit which can result in queues to leave the car park at the end of a session. Most people want to exit the car park and turn right but traffic lights mean that only a few cars can exit when the signal changes. You can, however, turn left out of the car park and take the first right (Glynde Road) and then take the next right (Avenue Road) and this will bring you back where you were heading. If everyone follows this guidance it should reduce the queues in the car park throughout the day.
Finally
I do hope that I have covered everything. As always, should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
