2005 Season
Quick Reference Page

This is a preliminary schedule with anticipated event and swim meet dates only. It is provided so that HOST families can make long range summer travel, camp or other plans. The complete schedule of all meets will be published in February 2005. The HURRICANE Calendar is available on this website at:

All swimmers must be at the pool by 5:00 PM sharp for each regular season meet. All regular season meets start promptly at 6:00 PM. Meets normally last until 9:30 PM. RSL rules require meets to be delayed for lightening strikes (1 hour) or thunder (30 minutes). Rain alone will not normally delay a meet. Normally it is better for the visiting team to take a delay and complete the meet, than to return a second night to complete.

There will be three home and three away meets. Directions to all away swim meets will be posted on the HOST website (www.hohurricanes.org) and will be sent via email before each away meet. The directions may also be printed on slips of paper to be made available on the day of the meet during morning practice and to those who meet in the afternoon to caravan to the meets.
