Event Registration: As this meet is unlike any other meet we attend in that there are longer events as well as a prelim to finals format. This signifies that swimmers have the opportunity to swim their race, and should they qualify, swim that race again as a final before placing. The coaching staff choose all events and relays based on the strengths of each individual, the age group and what is best for the team to score the maximum number of points possible as this is a team event.
