[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know in years past, individual pools have elected to start their swim meet earlier to better navigate the heart during a heatwave. Given the extreme nature of the current heatwave (length, and 100+ degree temps)  is there a possibility that the NVSL will call Saturday’s meets? [/quote]

It is a pool. What am I missing here. [/quote]

It's not the swimmers that are the issue. It's all the volunteers that will be standing around in sun for multiple hours.  Ideally teams should set up tents for the timers and officials.[/quote]

This is why DH and I are splitting a timer slot.  We'll each do half the meet, so that neither of us has to stand out there the entire time. [/quote]

That's a good idea. Unfortunately my wife doesn't want any part of timing.  I plan to splash pool water on me between every event. I don't care if the meet officials complain.[/quote]

Maybe you could arrange to switch out timing with another parent. Ours schedules first half and second half timers.

Meet officials shouldn’t complain unless you are holding up the meet.

It’s not going to be 100+ degrees between 8-11 am. The forecast low tonight is 70. The forecasted high is 98 but that won’t be until later in the day.[/quote]

Exactly.  The temps this week have been bad after 1 or 2 in the afternoon.  I’ve run each day at 10 and it’s been fine.  Meets are done by 11 or so.[/quote]
