such devices in these areas will immediately removed from the meet with all fees forfeited, and subject to further
LSC and/or USA Swimming sanctions and penalties. Non-athletes will be removed from the venue.
Any swimmer who does not enter the pool feet first during any portion of a warm-up/warm-down period which
requires feet first entry shall receive a warning for the first offense rather than a disqualification. Disqualifications
are automatic for subsequent violations. In the session in which the penalty is enforced, the swimmer cannot deck
enter an event to replace the event from which they were removed. This rule applies to the separate warm-up pool
during all sessions.

Every swimmer entered in the meet must be certified by a USA Swimming member coach as being proficient in
performing a racing start or must start each race from within the water. When unaccompanied by a member coach, it
is the responsibility of the swimmer or the swimmer’s legal guardian to ensure compliance with this requirement.

from any liabilities or claims for damages arising by reason of injuries to anyone during the conduct of this event.
