is on file with USA Swimming. Paragon starting blocks will be used for the start of all events.
Competition lanes are a minimum of 7 feet wide. The 25-yard program pool allows for 10 warmup/swim-down lanes; we anticipate a minimum of six (6) warm-up/warm-down lanes during the
meet. The separate warm water instruction pool is fully enclosed and remains open to the public
during meet competitions. Spectator seating for 1,000 above deck offers bleacher seating with
backs, tables and open seating. There is a Daktronics Omni Sport 2000 Pro Swimming timing
system with two matrix scoreboards. The aquatic facility is conveniently located just off I-40 at
exit 291 and adjacent to Cary’s largest mall, the Cary Towne Center.
Warm-up assignments will be determined after the entries have been received and will be included
in the coaches’ packets.
