| General Info about Middle School Swimming 1.Dual Meets start at 4pm and meets run about 1 hour and 20 minutes for swim portion. And another half hour for diving. 2.We want ALL swimmers to stay and cheer and support divers after our home swim meets. We must have advance written notice if swimmers plan to leave early, or they will not be eligible for the next meet! 3.All swimmers will compete in the meets - usually multiple events. The first heat (race) is the scored event the 2nd and 3rd heats are time trial events. All are important for end of season invitational meet entry. 4.The maximum number of events a swimmer may compete in is 4 > 2 individual and 2 relays. 5.Swimmers MUST go to away meets on the BUS and come home on the BUS!!! If for a very important reason a swimmer will need to go home with a parent (and only a parent) a note must be turned into athletic office at least 1 day prior to meet. Coach is not to allow swimmers to go home with parents unless this is followed. If not followed a swimmer is not eligible for next meet. 6.Pools are 25 yards in length - most events are 50 yard (2 lenghts) 100 yards (4 lengths) or 200 yard (8 lengths) events. Relays are 4 x 50 or 200 yard relays - each swimmer has 2 lengths of the pool. In Medley Relays swimmer 1 does backstroke - 2 breaststroke - 3 fly - 4 freestyle. 7.The individual medley is a 100 yard event - in this order > 1 length fly - back - breast - free. 8.Strokes must be performed legally or disqualifications will be called by officials. |
