Divisionals
During the sixth week of the season, each Division has an Individual Championship meet, commonly referred to as "Divisionals." Each team is allowed to enter only two swimmers in each event and a swimmer can enter no more than two events. Seeding for this meet is based on the swim team ladder. The swimmers with the fastest times for a particular event have priority in choosing to swim that event at Divisionals. Remember, just because you’re #3 or #4 doesn’t mean you won’t get to swim! Often the same kid is #1 or #2 in multiple events – and they have to pick just two. Divisionals have Individual Medley events in addition to freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. In older age groups, some pools have trouble filling their lanes, so we sometimes get to add swimmers based on their best times of the season. 1st through 6th place finishers receive a wall plaque that you can have engraved. 7th-12th places receive a ribbon. Your Divisionals time could qualify you for ALL STARS.
In order to swim at Divisionals a swimmer must not miss more than two "A" meets. If a swimmer misses more than two "A" meets, they will not be eligible to compete at Divisionals and the spot will be offered to the next eligible swimmer.
