ATHLETE VILLAGE SETUP
Once again this year, we are asking swimmers to use the Athletes Village located in the Special Events Center during Preliminaries whenever they are not swimming. With 1,400 or more athletes attending the competition, the pool deck is too crowded to accommodate everyone. Your cooperation will give each athlete an opportunity to do their best. This year, teams with 4 or fewer swimmers will be assigned to a large common area unless they contact David Hoover (Greensboro Aquatic Center, Event Coordinator) to request a dedicated area. David's email address is: david.hoover@greensboro-nc.gov. Please make sure you reference the YMCA Short Course National Championship in your email so he knows the associated meet for the request. Only a coach should make the request to David. We will continue to assign teams with five or more athletes to a dedicated area within the Athletes Village. Please remember that everyone is responsible for their personal belongings. Swimmers should never leave any of these items unattended.
