Date, Location & Schedule

The MCSL All-Star Relay Meet will be held in two separate sessions at the Rockville Swim and Fitness Center, 355 Martins Lane, on Saturday, July 26, 2025. Section I (Divisions A through G) will begin at 7:00 a.m. and Section II (Divisions H through O) will begin at 10:00 a.m. The facility will open at 6:00 a.m. There is no rain date for this meet.

The entire pool will be available for general warm-up but only lanes 2, 3, 6 and 7 of the competition area will be available for one-way starts (aka sprint lanes). All swimmers must enter the pool from the start end. The warmup schedule for each section is listed below:

Section I - 6:30 am through 6:55 am - General Warm-up & Lanes 2, 3, 6 & 7 open for one-way starts
Section II - 9:30 am through 9:55 am - General Warm-up & Lanes 2, 3, 6 & 7 open for one-way starts

With the exception of the sprint lanes, all swimmers must enter the pool feet first.

Continuous warmup will be available throughout the meet at the far end of the pool (non-competition area) but no starts will be allowed. Entry to the warmup area is feet first only. There will be no other pools available for warm-up.

Please see the Map/Meet Layout for parking, spectator areas, t-shirt pick-up, awards pick-up and officials/volunteers signin.

Scratch Deadline and Procedure

If a relay team is seeded in the meet and does not plan on competing the representative or coach of that team should scratch the team from their event. Scratches for this meet must be submitted using the MCSL online scratch procedure by 9:00 pm on Monday, July 21st.

Remember: there are no swimups allowed at All Star Relays. If a team does not have enough swimmers of the correct age group, then they should scratch from the event to allow another team to swim.

Check-in Procedures

All coaches must pick up their relay cards from the Clerk of Course at the start of warm-ups. The relay card must be completed and returned to the Clerk of Course per the below schedule.

If a team does not turn in a completed relay card in accordance with the above schedule and an alternate team has been assigned, the original team WILL NOT be allowed to swim the event.

Officials, Timers/Take-Off Judges and Other Volunteers

The MCSL All Star Relay Meet requires the staffing of two full sets of officials, timers, takeoff judges and other volunteers since the meet is run in two sessions (Section I and Section II). This meet is a unique event in that each division swims approximately the same number of Relay teams. As a result, we need All Divisions to provide volunteers and help staff the meet.

If you are an MCSL certified official and wish to work as an official at any of the All Stars meet sessions, please sign up using the Google form.

Meet T-Shirts

Meet t–shirts for this event may be ordered in advance of the meet through Capital Sport & Swim. Orders are placed on behalf of a team via team reps. T-shirts may be picked-up by a team Representative at the Capital Swim & Sport tent during the meet.

Parking

Entrance to the Centers parking lot is only through the easternmost (indoor pool) driveway and the exit is through the westernmost (outdoor pool) driveway.

A fee of $2.00 is charged for parking in the Center’s lot. You may drop someone off without paying the fee but you cannot park in the lot and must exit after dropping off. If you choose to park in the Centers lot only park in defined spaces. Do not make your own parking space.

If you do not park in the Centers lot you may park on Martins Lane, the Rock Terrace School parking lot (do not park on their fields or grass) or in the Board of Education parking lot off of Mannakee Street.

Do not park on the baseball field across the street from the Swim Center or on side streets as this will likely result in you receiving a City of Rockville parking ticket.

Please assist the staff in making the parking operation a smooth one.
