We ask that all media respect the work environment of their colleagues by maintaining a quiet and professional atmosphere in the media work room and all other media areas of the venue. 3. All media are asked to show consideration to their peers, especially in crowded or busy work, press conference or mixed zone areas. 4. Internet usage in the media center is for work-related purposes only. Media members who do not follow the proper internet procedures may have their internet access revoked for the remainder of the competition. 5. Any secondary, non-editorial or commercial use of any picture, audio, film/tape/digital image or drawing of this event is prohibited without prior specific written authorization from the USOC and USA Swimming. 6.
