POOL SPECS 25 yards X 50 meters. There will be a lane line placed at 25 METERS. The competition area (deep end) ranges in depth from 12 to 7 feet. Routines should enter at the deep end. We will be swimming 25 METERS with the lines. There is a 3-meter diving board in the middle of the deck in the starting end. This is an outdoor pool. There is also a lifeguard chair that is off center and hopefully will not interfere with any deck work. There will be two lanes open throughout the competition for LAP SWIM ONLY. There will also be space available in the shallow end to warm-up routines, as long as it is not distracting to the judges. NO TAPPING. AT ANYTIME DURING THE MEE
