A note about Champs entries…

Coaches spend a LOT of time on Champs entries. They look at your preferences, but will ultimately assign entries that will maximize points for our team. This is a meet where not all swimmers will have 4 events. Many swimmers have 2 or 3 – this is totally normal. In addition, Champs rules do not allow swimmers to enter events where they didn’t have a legal time – this may be why some of your entries disappeared. There are only two medley relays and two freestyle relays per age group. They will be generated by the computer looking at the fastest times from this season. Swimmers can always ask questions about their entries, but know that MUCH time was spent strategizing just the right combo of entries within our 500 entry limit.

Parents: Help Your Swimmers Line-Up For Events

Lining up for events at champs is a whole process! The line extends all the way around the pool deck. Please help your swimmers stay in the crash area, listen to the announcer (she will call for all events) and make sure they are lining up at the right time. We do have volunteers up there, but they cannot wrangle everyone. It helps a ton to have you double check to make sure your kiddo is lined up! (It is heartbreaking when they miss an event as there are no do-overs.)
