Swim Meet Agenda
●Girls swim first in an event followed by boys. Youngest age groups start first.
●A swimmer is allowed to swim a maximum of 2 individual events and 2 relays at each dual meet.
●All events are determined by the coach, not the child or parents.
●10 and under age groups swim 25 meters (1 length of the pool) for each individual event. These swimmers each swim 25 meters per leg on a relay, for a total of 100 meters. (Some outdoor pools are yards.) There is a 100 Individual Medley event (4 lengths of the pool) for the 10 and under age groups.
●11 and over age groups swim 50 meters (2 lengths of the pool) for each individual event. These swimmers each swim 50 meters per leg on a relay, for a total of 200 meters. (Some outdoor pools are yards.) There is a 100 Individual Medley event (4 lengths of the pool) for the 11 and over age groups.
●“NT” next to a swimmer’s name in the meet program means “No Time”. That means that the swimmer’s time was not available at the time entries were submitted, or the swimmer does not yet have a time in the event. “X” on a meet results page means the event was swam as an exhibition (not for points), and “DQ” means the swimmer was disqualified.
●Please have swimmers stay with the team! This is essential, especially with the little swimmers. When your swimmer completes all his/her races he/she may sit with you.
Ribbons
●Ribbons are awarded to swimmers placing 1st through 6th .
●Exhibition swimmers are not scored in a meet. Swimmers are entered into exhibition heats to get an event time or for an opportunity to swim for points.
Not all swimmers will qualify to compete at Prelims and Finals
