Mike Peppe Meet Important information!!
1. Traffic:
Columbus is the home of the orange barrel. This summer, Rte 315 is the poster
child. If you are in one of the meet hotels, you are fine. Stay on Olentangy
River Road, and you will have no problem. The normal northbound lanes are
closed for construction, and all traffic north and south are sharing (not
nicely, though!) the southbound lanes. Lane Avenue and Kinnear Road exits are
open for Southbound lanes, as is Lane Ave is for northbound lanes. Be careful
out there!
2. Meet session
changes: Due to the size of some of the sessions, the following adjustments are
being implemented:
a. Friday
Evening: Final Lap Chase Starts will be used. Men will start at the
scoreboard end of the pool for all events, and women will start from the diving
well end of the pool. Women will start first, and the men will follow heat by
heat. This will apply for all events, including the freestyle relays.
b.
Saturday Morning: Distance Events: The top 20 swimmers, not the
top 10 in each of the 400 IM and 1500 Freestyle will swim in the Finals session.
For all events, Final Lap Chase Starts will be used. Men will start at the
scoreboard end of the pool for all events, and women will start from the diving
well end of the pool. Women will start first, and the men will follow heat by
heat. This will apply for all events, including relays.
c. Sunday
Morning: Distance Events: The top 20 swimmers, not the top 10 in
each of the 400 IM and 1500 Freestyle will swim in the Finals session. For all

3. Officials: If
your team is bringing anyone who is a certified official, please encourage them
to help out if they can. This will help to run the meet smoothly, and provide
the kids with a quality event.
Summer Lessons and clinics:
Hello Folks,
I want to thank all of you for taking advantage of the private lessons this spring. All of the swimmers have and will continue to learn from one -on -one lessons, as I can cover a lot more than in the practice environment. If they can’t explain what I want them to do then they probably don’t understand, as I am trying to make them think logically about mechanics and momentum.
All my time slots are full through June 6th.
I will have summer times available, starting June 8th Monday, Tuesday and Thursday roughly 1pm – 3pm at the High School pool through the end of July.
There are some times and days listed above with limitations and I will fill slots starting at 2:30pm first.
Thanks

Longcourse requirements to swim meets: You will swim the fastest meet you qualify for this summer. Financial commitment policy to follow.
1. Each swimmer will need to attend a minimum of one dryland practice each week at Metro spring and summer to be entered in meets.
2. In order to attend the late afternoon practice in the summer, morning practice that day must be attended. I will have room for about 20 swimmers so let me know your intentions soon! This second practice does not count towards your 80%.
3. You must maintain 80% longcourse practice attendance to swim meets.
Requirements to be considered for National Team starting Fall 2009:
1. Individual Sectional Cut must be achieved. (Relay qualifiers will be considered.)
2. You must attend 2 out of 3 of the morning practices each week in the spring. Please talk to me if you live outside New Albany.
3. The higher the practice attendance the better. 80% minimum to be considered.
4. Metro practices must be attended.
5. You must attend 2 out of 3 summer doubles each week. (8am practice then 3pm practice)
6. Tardiness is unacceptable and will count against you.
