Help with swim officials is still most welcome.

To run the meet as efficiently as possible, we are still needing more officials. Get your people to opt in by filling out this form.

The Chase Starts can be deployed with the prelims session of the meet when there are enough officials to help with starting and referee. This way the PRELIMS session can happen more quickly and swimmers can get additional rest before the big races in the evening finals.

Unlucky 13, comes with a threat of fines.

Florida Swimming has done an audit of the entries for the Senior Blast participants, and a number of issue need immediate attention from a list of swim programs.

Only USA Swimming Teams need to address these issues.

The list includes, but not exclusive to: PC-ALTO, VA-GATR, OH-MAST, AM-RESY, NC-RSA, MR-EAST, CT-ZEUS, FG-PCS

Because the list has names, and birthdays (some wrong, by the way), it behind a password protected web page. Password can be obtained by sending an email to webmaster-team@SwimISCA.com. Password was removed from this email and the public-facing web post. Go here: https://swimisca.org/trouble-temp-info-for-the-2023-senior-blast/
