restrictions on the dates of the event, Teams traveling from outside the greater Sacramento area are planned to
primarily be placed at Elk Grove site for prelims. Teams within the greater Sacramento area will be divided between
Elk Grove and Folsom sites with the goal to not split teams between two sites, but to ensure that we have a balance
of athletes at each site.

events for that day from their missed event and on. They are still allowed to compete in the Team relays for that day.

particular event, those swimmers shall compete in the prelims and the finals of that event. 102.5.1A(1) If there is only
one heat, it shall be swum as scheduled during the preliminaries and finals.
FINALS: Finals will be broken out by age group as (10&Under, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18). Finals will not begin
