    Swimmers may sign up for as many events as they want as long as they DID NOT swim that event in the A meet, with the exception of freestyle. Swimmers can swim freestyle at the B meet as long as they placed outside the top 6 in freestyle if they swam it in the A meet.

    You cannot swim any event you have an ALL-STAR time in.

    A swimmer should not sign up for a stroke they are not legal in unless requested by Coach Nic (this usually means they are close to being legal). See the coach if you have a question.

    A swimmer cannot swim the B meet in any stroke for which they are usually an A meet swimmer, but missed this past weekends A meet. I do not believe this applies to anyone this week.


    VOLUNTEER: When you sign up your swimmer, please sign up to volunteer at the meet. We should have a large B-team this season, so all parents sign up to volunteer to support your swimmers!
