    B-meets and B-Rep

    Sorry for the confusion! Here is the information from our website explaining how B-meets work:

    Who Can Participate?

    • B-Meet Swimmers: Anyone not asked to swim in the Saturday A-meet can participate in the Wednesday night B-meet.
    • A-Meet Swimmers: You can participate in the Wednesday B-meet, but only in events you did not swim on Saturday.

    Swimmer Eligibility Rules

    • No Duplicate Events: If you swim an event in the A-meet, you cannot swim that same event in the following B-meet (except for freestyle).
    • Off-Strokes: A swimmer may swim any of their off-strokes in the B-meet, regardless of how many events they swam on Saturday.
    • No Event Limits: The A-meet stroke limit does not apply. A B-swimmer can swim up to all five events if they wish. This ensures every swimmer gets a chance to swim each stroke once a week.
    • Missed Meets: Regular A-swimmers who miss a Saturday meet are still not eligible to swim their normal strokes in the following B-meet.
    • All-Star Times: Any swimmer with an MCSL “All Star” time in a stroke is barred from swimming that stroke in a B-meet, even as an off-stroke.

    The Freestyle Exception

    • A swimmer can swim freestyle in a B-meet as long as they did not place 1st through 6th in the previous Saturday A-meet (they are eligible if they finished 7th through 12th, or did not score).

    How to Sign Up

    Sign-ups are voluntary but highly encouraged! Every Saturday afternoon, a new event will open on our website. Simply log in, click on the meet name, and follow the instructions to enter your child.

    I hope this explains it more. As always, please check the website for all the information.

    While I have you here, I am still looking for a B-meet Rep.

    The responsibilities for this role include:

    • Communication: Emailing the opposing team for home meets and replying to them for away meets.
    • Coordination: Working with coaches, automation, and the volunteer coordinator to ensure all volunteers are ready.
    • Event Support: Handling the setup and takedown for the meets.
    • Gear: You also get a team rep shirt

    Since my child is not swimming in B-meets this year, managing this role adds five extra meets to my schedule. I would truly appreciate someone stepping up to take this on!
