IMPORTANT DUSO INFORMATION!!!!

We still have 16 swimmers not signed up of for DUSO! The deadline is today! The sooner you signup, the better, since our coaches are already working on relays.

We have a few swimmers going for a 3rd legal event time on Wednesday. If your swimmer earns a legal time at Wednesdays meet, please let me know as soon as possible so I can contact the lead computer rep from Rhinebeck to sneak your swimmer in for champs. If your swimmer already has legal times, please sign them up for those events for DUSO champs. The late add after the makeup meet is not for swimmer preference. This is a courtesy that has been offered for DUSO champs for years, as an effort to try to give swimmers three "splashes", but this is very labor intensive for those running the computer, and three times the work with three meet locations for champs. If your swimmers has a late time added at the Wed meet, that event will not be in the program. The coaches will get the swimmer's heat and lane assignment the morning of champs.
