Meet Line - Up
Each individual is able to swim up to 4 events (2 relays, 2 individual events)
The events that you sign - up for give the coaches an idea of what your athlete may want to swim but not a guarantee that they will be in that event for that meet.
All athlete's that are 10 & under swim 1 length of the pool and all athlete's that are 11 & over swim 2 lengths (50) or 4 lengths (100). If your athlete is swimming up an age group, they may have to swim more laps than normal so please check the line up carefully!
If your swimmer is NOT in the first heat, they swim in an exhibition heat. The league only allows 25 exhibition heats per meet.
Ribbons will be awarded to the swimmers who compete in the first heat of each race.
