Thank you to the Jones Center

We want to extend a huge thank you to the Jones Center.  Last week, they installed two new UV Lights Systems on their pools.  This reduces the need for high levels of chlorine and helps keep the pool clearer, healthier, and less irritating to swimmers.  This will also improve the air quality in the pool area, which is much needed as we enter the winter months.

Last Wednesday, we launched our Domino’s Slice of the Pie Fundraiser.  Please look at the last two emails on this fundraiser to see how to participate.

Disqualifications at Swim Meets

We have had a couple of emails about disqualifications at our Red & White Meet.  Our coaches are here to explain why your swimmer was disqualified (DQ) in a race.  We encourage all swimmers to talk with their coaches immediately following each race to get feedback on their race and also explain a disqualification if it occurs.  

 

As a parent, if you have questions on a disqualification, please reach out to your swimmer’s coach directly.  Parents are not permitted to question an official directly about a disqualification.  It is also important to note, officials are not permitted to look at a video and reverse a decision. 

 

Disqualifications occur for a variety of technical reasons.  They also occur for swimmers of all ages and at some of the biggest stages.  If you are curious of the different areas your swimmer could be disqualified, please reference the USA Swimming Disqualification Report.
