2019 Kinney Natatorium Open Meet Timeline - BEFORE Scratches

The tentative timeline may change after scratches have been made and the meet is seeded, but it will give you a pretty good idea of how long the meet will run.

A bus will NOT be transporting swimmers to and from this event. Families may drive to Bucknell University on their own OR meet at Bishop McDevitt High School at 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning. If you would be willing to assist in providing a ride to and from this event, please speak with a coach.

Travel time from Bishop McDevitt High School to Bucknell University is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. It is very important that ALL McDevitt swimmers arrive at Sojka Pavilion no later than 9:45 a.m. We will need ALL athletes to enter the pool deck at the same time at 10:00 a.m. in order to claim space for 18 McDevitt swimmers and divers attending this meet. Please do not assume the attitude that "my teammates will arrive early to save me a spot". We will enter the pool deck AS A TEAM at 10:00 a.m.
