I misunderstood the measurements of our pool.  Our pool is approximately 12 meters wide by the known 25 meters in length.   Swimmers will be required to swim width off pool, not 1/2 the width.   

All swimmers must be:

• 100% comfortable in the water (zero coaxing required)
• able to breathe during strokes without holding nose (nose clips prevent proper technique and are also strongly discouraged)
• able to front crawl unassisted for 12 meters (width of the pool, correct technique not required)
