Welcome to Zone 2

A major responsibility of a meet director, as representative of a member club hosting a swim meet, is to provide a safe venue for the competition. Safety planning is critically important in order to ensure that risks are removed or mitigated, and to organize appropriate staff to enforce safety rules and procedures. USA Swimming has prepared a number of useful tools for swim meet planning.

Pacific Swimming has developed training material for meet directors. Several clubs have experienced keen interest on the part of their pool operator for the number and deployment of marshals. Meet directors should work closely with their respective pool operators to develop adequate and reasonable plans for marshals, and to agree on how meet marshals and pool lifeguard staffs will work together.
