Week of Meet Notes (Updates)

We have adjusted timelines for all 3 am sessions. All changes to warm up and start times are highlighted.

Coaches, parents and swimmers will be allowed access to the outdoor pool area at 9:15 am on Friday and 7:15 am on both Saturday and Sunday. Tents will be allowed in the grass area and may remain throughout the meet as long as they are lowered each day when teams leave for the day.

Please park in the East Deck Parking Garage along Bigler Road adjacent to the pool. Please do not drop swimmers off in front of the pool, the Penn State Police will ticket violators, since it creates congestion and impedes traffic flow along Bigler Road. No cars are allowed in the parking lot between the indoor and outdoor pools for safety purposes.

Admission fees are $5 per session for sessions 1,3,5,6 and 8 as well as the mini meet. Admission for the distance sessions will be $2. Children 12 & under admitted free. Heat sheets will be available for purchase at each session.

During the 9-12 year old sessions on Sat and Sun there will be 2 ten-minute breaks during each session to allow swimmers to warm up and cool down since we will not have access to the indoor pool after 4 pm those days.

The mini meet will have a break after each boys event, to give the swimmers a chance to rest between their events.

Pre-Meet Notes

Quick note about parking...parking will be available in the East Parking Deck which is on Bigler Road adjacent to the Natatorium. If you choose to park elsewhere please check the colored signs posted in the lot, there are parking restrictions on campus that could result in ticketing and/or towing.

The small lot directly behind McCoy Natatorium will be closed.

Please do not drop your swimmers off in front of the Nat, this causes traffic problems, especially with the CATA buses.

Teams will need to provide their own tents for their swimmers. We are asking that the teams and coaches set-up tents to the left of the entrance and the parents and spectators sit to the right.

The 1500 Freestyle on Friday PM, 400 Freestyle on Sat PM, and 400 IM on Sunday PM are all positive check-in events. The swimmers will need to provide their own timers for all three events and their own counters for the 1500 and 400 Freestyle. Check-in will close at 11:00 AM on Friday for the 1500, 11:00 AM on Sat for the 400 Free, and 11:00 AM Sun for the 400 IM.
