Marshalling: The marshals have been instructed to control the deck areas and will ask the

swimmers to remain on the marshalling benches until they are asked to report to their lanes. This will avoid difficulties for the timers. Horseplay and excessively noisy behavior in the marshalling areas will not be tolerated. The number of swimmers participating in this meet makes this imperative.

Coaches are required to stay well back on the pool deck to avoid interfering with the officials. The west side of the pool and bulkhead are out of bounds for swimmers and coaches at all times except for awards and presentations.
