CONNECTICUT SWIMMERS AND PARENTS

CHANGE IN THE 2000 LONG COURSE ZONE MEET FORMAT

 

We are pleased to announce that in response to numerous requests the 2000 Long Course Summer Zones will be conducted using the SAME FORMAT AS WINTER ZONES.  Swimmers will travel together to the meet by bus.  Swimmers will eat, sleep and be chaperoned as a team.  With written permission, parents will be able to remove their swimmers from the auspices of the team and depart from zones on the FINAL DAY of competition (August 12th) at the conclusion of trials of their swimmers respective age group.

 

In order to plan more efficiently, we are requiring all 14/under swimmers to complete a pre-application by July 15, 2000.  We also encourage 15/overs to pre-apply, but their application will be accepted through Age Group Championships.

Marriott Hotel

This hotel is near the University of Buffalo pool where the 12 and unders swim preliminaries.

You must call the hotel on your own, make your own reservation and tell them you are with Connecticut swimming. We have blocked 23 rooms. All rooms that do not have a reservation and deposit will be released by July 18th. We are aware that this is before age groups, but the hotel would not extend this deadline. Please note you can always make a reservation at any time with your credit card and cancel it without penalty as long as you do so at least 24 hours in advance of your arrival. I am told that this hotel is now sold out so our 23 rooms definitely will not be available after July 18th, book early!
