| First, gross! Second, how many events were completed before the incident? (My kids are supposed to swim tomorrow but if they have to get through a whole bunch of Saturday events first, we have a conflict and will have to scratch.) |

| I thought they just cancelled what wasn't done today-- not they they were going to add them to tomorrow's session. |

| Someone barfed in the pool. And it looks like they are going to try to do some of yesterday's events. A new timeline is here to help you decide: https://www.gomotionapp.com/pvsmako/__eventform__/1225553_bb43e0bf-c7fd-4250-9541-9f0ad8d15391.pdf |

| Hah, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. There was a Mako parent at the November Friendship Mini-Meet who brought her puking kid to the meet claiming it was “just nerves.” If your 7 year old is so nervous about a swim meet that they’re repeatedly vomiting, maybe take a break… |

| Poor kid. It looks to be a very long meet for 9-10s. |

Hopefully they don't start running behind, because they have to stop at four hours. It's a shame 200 free is last-- i know of at least two kids trying to qualify for imx with it and it could get cut for time. (and I'm not THAT poster. Haha) |

The 4 hour rule doesn’t require stopping. It just has to be planned to not go more than 4 hours. They might need to stop bc of pool rental or the other session but not bc of 4 hour rule. |

Today will be test of how many 9-10 kids make it through 5-6 events in one 4-hr session without barfing. |

Or coaches could be responsible and scratch kids from an event or 2 if that’s a concern. |

| The swimmer barfed at the end of IM. The entire pool was cleared immediately. |

| My kid was signed up for 6 events today. Scratched 3. Too much with 100s and 200s. 9-10s are done if that's what you are asking. |
