General Information about meet entries:
You will receive an email when a new event is posted, and again, one week before the deadline to sign-up for that meet or event. You must use the "ATTEND" this event button and indicate your wishes BEFORE the deadline or you will not have signed up.
All meets and activities with ABC, indicate no qualifying time or requirements exist, and all members are encouraged to attend. You will be able to find more information about each meet under AAA Events (including start times and directions, once the information is available to post). It is very helpful if you respond for each child even if you can’t attend (click box and indicate "not committed"). Carefully select events by the day. You are usually limited to 3 choices each day and the coaches will choose relays for you.
NOTE: A $7 coaching fee per swimmer is applied to all away swim meets, in addition to the facility and OSI surcharges and individual/relay fees.
Helpful terms:
SCY (short course yards) means the length of the competition pool is 25 yards.
SCM (short course meters) means the length of the competition pool is 25 meters.
LCM (long course meters) means the length of the competition pool is 50 meters.
ABC "A" times are the fastest, then "B" , then "C". They indicate the times needed to swim a meet. ABC means anyone can swim. BC means you cannot have an "A" time in that stroke to swim in a meet labeled BC.
Split or single session format - The younger swimmers (usually 10 or 12 and younger) swim in the morning and the teenagers swim in the afternoon. Look for more details when each meet is posted under the Team Events tab. Single format everyone warms-up and swims in the same session.
