Smyrna meet arrival time + almost-final event entries

Here are almost-final event entries as well as relay reports. Kenzi, Nils and I can make changes until midnight tonight. Or maybe more like until 10 pm since we'll be sleeping!

Where? Smryna's Tolleson Park Pool 3590 King Springs Road Smyrna, GA 30080

When to arrive? Strive for 5:50 pm so you can get your EHLs before warmups. By 6:15, be on deck ready to swim and begin stretches and light on-deck exercises. If the pre-meet warmup isn't in the cards for you this Friday, you should be able to warm up in the diving well during the meet. (Remember to text if you're delayed!)

Meet Warmups: Our lanes will be left to right for speed just as they are at practice. Lanes 1+2 in the left lane. Lanes 4+5 in the right lane. 

At 6:25: Swim a steady pace. Enter feet first. Aim for 200 to 300 yards. 

By 6:40: switch to Turn 25's. Split in groups to use both ends. Swim fast from midpool. Go one at a time. Top priority: backstrokers need space to get stroke counts from flags at a sprint pace. Second priority: flip turn timing. Try to do at least four turns. 

By 6:50: switch to Dive 25's. Line up on deck. Start 5 to 10 seconds apart. Dive in, swim to the end, get out. Once Dive 25's begin, lanes are one-way only. Do not swim into the block area. Be sure to do at least one Dive 25. If there's time, walk back around to do two or three.

At 7:10: Womens medley relays begin.
