Meet Directors are requested to acknowledge receipt by return e-mail within 24 hours. Clubs submitting entries that do NOT receive an acknowledgement should contact the Meet Director by other than e-mail to confirm receipt.

Important: The above date is the deadline for clubs to submit their entries. Therefore, clubs usually set an earlier deadline to receive entries from their swimmers. Check with your club for this information.
