LOCATION:
The Lake at Splash Montana located at 3001 Bancroft, is an 8-lane, 50-meter regulation outdoor
long course pool equipped with non-turbulent lane lines. The pool is a state of the art 50 meter
pool by Astral Pools. The pool is 6 feet deep at the west end and 4 feet deep east end. We have
access to the 25 yard 3 ½ feet deep, 3 lanes area for warm-up and cool down before the park
opens at 11:00am, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There also is a partial lane next to lane 8 for
warm-up and cool down during the swim meet. The competition course has not been certified in
accordance with 104.2.2C(4). Montana Masters Swimming had it certified and we are in the
process of completing the certification.
RULES:
The meet is sanctioned by Montana Swimming and USA Swimming. The rules of USA
Swimming and Montana Swimming will govern the conduct of the meet. Use of audio or visual
recording devices, including a cell phone, is not permitted in changing areas, rest rooms or
locker rooms. The facility is equipped with adequate changing facilities and changing in or out of
swimsuits other than in locker rooms is not appropriate and is prohibited. There will be no ondeck registration. Glass containers, tobacco products, or alcoholic beverages are not allowed in
the swimming venue. Seeding will be Long Course Meters (LCM), Short Course Yards (SCY),
Short Course Meters (SCM). Swimmers are responsible for being familiar with this meet’s
scratch rules and check--‐in procedures. At a sanctioned competitive event, USA Swimming
athlete members must be under the supervision of a USA Swimming member coach during
warm-ups, competition, and warm-down. The Meet Director or Meet Referee may assist the
swimmer in making arrangements for such supervision, but it is the swimmer’s responsibility to
make such arrangements prior to the start of the meet. Unaccompanied swimmers shall
report to the Meet Director or Meet Referee for assignment.
SAFETY
REGULATIONS:
Montana Swimming safety guidelines and warm-up procedures will be in effect and
strictly enforced. No stakes can be put in the ground within the fenced area in the pool.
Umbrellas, tarps, and canopies for swimmers will not be allowed on the pool deck, but will be
allowed in the adjacent park during the meet. This meet will follow Montana Swimming’s and the
City of Missoula’s lightning policies. There is no overnight camping in the park. Please bring a
sun hat and sunscreen for your own protection.
WARM-UP
Athlete entries into all lanes must be 3 point/feet first entry and circle swimming for a minimum of
20 minutes. For the last 20 minutes of the warm-up session, one-way sprints/starts will be open in
2 designated lanes. Additional one-way sprint lanes may be opened at the discretion of the meet
referee. A pace lane can be opened at the discretion of the meet referee after the initial 20 minute
circle swim period.
LIGHTNING POLICY: City of Missoula and Montana Swimming follows guidelines set forth by the facility standard or the
American Red Cross whichever is more stringent will be the governing rule.
ELGIBILITY:
This meet is open to all swimmers currently registered with USA Swimming as year round
members with at least one “A” USAS Motivational Times time standard from Montana, Inland
Empire, Snake River and /or Alaska swimming. Age of the swimmer on the first day of the meet

Each entry time must be from USA Swimming sanctioned, approved, or observed
competition. Entry times not in the SWIMS database must be proven to the Administrative
Referee or designated representative prior to the scratch deadline for the event (and in
accordance with qualifying period noted above). Failure to provide such proof of time
prior to that deadline will result in the swimmer being removed from the event. There
is no need to prove relay entry times. It is the entering club’s, or individual’s, if entering
as unattached, responsibility to verify that entry times are in SWIMS.
ENTRY FEES:
$28.00 per swimmer and $3.00 per event. All entries for MAC swimmers are to be done
