The balcony seating is LIMITED to 375 and this is a “controlled seating”. By order of fire marshal and CV school district, the meet host can NOT allow more than 375 spectators in the spectator gallery at any time. There are approximately 320 athletes in any session, thus if every swimmer brought two spectators, not everyone would be admitted to the spectator gallery. Meet volunteers will be enforcing the rule of "no backpacks, stadium seats, or lawn chairs in the spectator gallery". You will be limited to a small purse or personal item. All teams have been asked to cooperate in adhering to CV High School's rules. This includes no food on the pool deck and in the bleachers. Security will be present on the pool deck to enforce the "no food on deck rule". Parents will be asked to clear the gallery between each session, and for security purposes, the meet host will request parents take their personal belongings with them as they exit the gallery.
2) Heat sheets are distributed approximately 5-10 minutes prior to the beginning of the session. When parents arrive to pay their admission, they will NOT be handed a heat sheets. After coaches "scratch back" athletes that are not swimming, the meet will be re-seeded and heat sheets will be printed for parents. Heat sheets will also be printed for all coaches and officials and posted on the pool deck for athletes. Heat sheets will be available on Meet Mobile about 20 minutes PRIOR to the start of the meet.
