Each swimmer may choose up to 3 events plus 1 Relay.    All accepted Entries late and deck entries accrue points and awards except Exhibition swims which accrue no points and no awards.  We ask parents/others to volunteer to help with the meet, which should last about 1 hour.  This is a  FUN MEET and DQ’s will not be issued, however, the Coach will discuss infractions with the swimmer.

Know your heat and lane assignments.  Be prepared to swim to help meet start on time, and run timely.   Fins, paddles and kickboards can be used by All training groups to give swimmers the opportunity and feel of fast swimming.  Please be sure to have your training equipment and gear with you including a water bottle and a snack – you may get hungry.

Awards:  1^st through 8^th Place Awards will be given to the following Age Groups – LTS, 6&U, 8&U, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14,  15-16, 17-18,19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59,60-64… and Personal Best Time Awards will be given to swimmers who achieve Personal Best Times either at this meet or the next Personal Best Times Meet.  Swimmer’s may swim the same event twice in one meet to attempt a personal best time in one meet.  If a swimmer swims the same event twice that counts as 2 events towards their 3 individual event plus 1 relay total per meet.  All meet awards will be placed in swimmers file or mailed following the meet along with the meet reports.  Relay Place Awards will go only to the Top 3 Relays - 100 Freestyle, 100 Individual Medley or 100 Noodle Race Relay.   Times achieved do not count as USA or AAU Times.  In addition to ribbon & heat awards; award points ( 1 point each) are presented for 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd placings in Individual & Relay Events (no points for Heat place) and 1 point each for all Best Times achieved at a meet.  2” Medals are achieved when a swimmer has accumulated enough award points as follows:
