Sport Specific Information

USA Coaches are allowed on deck with proper identification.

In events with few athletes, the meet management has the right to seed divisions together. Seed times should be in yards or NT (no time).  Please indicate on entry form.

The 500 yard event is not guaranteed as it is based on the number of swimmers.  If athletes swim a distance event (500 or longer), they will be expected to count for another individual in a different heat of that event or arrange for a person to serve as their personal lap counter.

Divisions

Male and Female divisions will be offered for each event in each age group. Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each.

Swimmers doing the 500 Free and 1000 Free must provide their own timers and lap counters.
