8. Int. Herbstmeeting 2025 (english)

Warm-up periods can be found on the heat sheet. Please leave the competition pool via the turning side and not via the touchpads.

The officials are assigned in advance. Please let us know your officials with names by Thursday, June 30th, 2025 at the latest.

You can find an overview of the requested officials here.

The panel meeting will be at the cafeteria of the indoor pool. At the officials' panel meeting, the officials receive a food voucher for the stalls and the first drinks for the event.

Entry to the starting bridge is via the entrance to the competition pool on the side of the diving platform. A maximum of 3 following heats should be in the pre-start area at the same time. A screen shows which run is currently being admitted. When the speaker calls the previous run, the next run is admitted.

Please wait in the pool unitl the next run has started and leave the pool via the side of the pool and not via the touchpads. Please leave the pool immediately after your rund during backstroke events.

Entry and line-up takes place at the entrance close to the diving platform. (similar to normal competition). The judge will give you the line-up. As soon as the judge gives the signal, the participants of the finals entry and the introduction takes place. All final runs of a swimming position are carried out one after the other without a separate break between runs. This will be followed by the award ceremonies for the final races.

Immediately after the award ceremony ends, the finals of the second swimming position of the day will take place.

Please collect the start cards for the relay competitions from the speakers' area at the beginning of the competition. We ask you to return the filled out start cards (name and year of the starters) as early as possible to the speakers' tent.

Since we want to hold the award ceremony immediately after the relay competitions with names mentioned, it makes our work much easier if we can record the names in advance. THANK YOU in advance for your support.

A livetiming from the competition is provided on our homepage. The livetiming results are for information purpose only and do nor necessarily represent the official results.

The official results are published on in printed version at the pool site and also on our homepage.

The award ceremonies are part of the competition and take place parallel to the competition. The awards for final races, pursuit races and relay competitions take place directly after the respective competition. Please stay close by.

Medals from missed awards can also be picked up near the ceremony area. Please note that the current award ceremony takes priority over subsequent medal collection. So please wait until officials are free to handover your medals afterwards.

In order to increase the storage value of the diploms and at the same time reduce the amount of paper required in the interests of the environment, we will print participant certificates with all results per participant. For relay and final results will be separate diploms. This means that the certificates can be issued clubwise and only after the end of last event in which the last swimmer from a club has started. The diploms are only printed on request. If you would like printed diploms, please give us a hint at the speakers' area.

Digital diplomas can be collected from our homepage after the event.

During the event, the Wasserfreunde Mühlacker will provide catering. The offer includes:

• Dürrmenzer bratwurst in a bun (saturday)
• wiener with flatbread (sunday)
• Pasta with tomato sauce (vegetarian)
• Filled flatbreads with salami or cream cheese
• (Butter) pretzels
• Cakes and waffles
• Coffee
• Water / juice spritzer from Ensinger and softdrinks

Since we also want to be more sustainable when it comes to catering, we are increasingly switching to porcelain tableware and “real” cutlery. We would therefore like to ask you to bring it back after use so that we can wash it and use it again. Thank you in advance for your support.

This year, we would like to thank you coaches for your commitment to swimming with our free "Coach Coffees." Pick up your wristband at the speaker's area.
