2009 Alamance County Swimming Championship, Saturday, August 1, 2009

Parking can be challenging, it's easier to park close to the facility if you arrive early. Plan accordingly and pack on Friday evening!


We would like swimmers to start arriving at 7:45 am and no later than 8am. We will need to have event, heat and lane numbers on the swimmers before we warm-up. Please note if you are a timer, stroke and turn judge or runner there will be a meeting held from 8-8:20. Clerk of Course, Scorers and Ribbons meeting will be held from 8:20-8:40. The meet will start at 9am.

The Warm-Up schedule for Swim Championships will be as follows:

MAC & GSC 8:00 – 8:15

OFRC 8:15 – 8:30

DSC & ACC 8:30 – 8:45


6 & Unders will warm up in the “non-laned” area of the pool. The Swim Championships will start promptly at 9:00am.


Please remember the NO COTTON RULE! (This means no underwear under your swimsuit, no t-shirts in the pool, etc)

Backstroke Turns

Backstroke turns were an issue at the last meet. Here are a couple of good videos to illustrate the technique. If you find you are still too far from the wall after your roll, make the pull stroke longer and slower, and scull your hand back and forth. Practice this as much as you can this week before the County Championship meet on Saturday, August 1st. See Coaches John, Jamie, or Frank if you have any questions. If you subscribed by email and did not get the video, click here to go to the page.
