Hey there, Otters!

If your swimmer missed Time Trials, only completed part of it, or didn’t get times for events they want to swim this season, please read this carefully — it has everything you need to get them eligible for upcoming meets.

Which events does my swimmer need times for?

Below are the standard events for each age group. Your swimmer may choose any or all of the events listed for their age.

6U: 25 Free, 25 Back Optional (advanced): 50 Free, 25 Breast, 25 Fly

7–8: 25 Free, 50 Free, 25 Back, 25 Breast, 25 Fly Optional: 100 IM

9–10: 25 Free, 50 Free, 25 Back, 25 Breast, 25 Fly Optional: 100 IM

11+: 100 Free, 50 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly, 100 IM

How to check if your swimmer has eligible times

Go to our next meet (5/9) on the schedule in the SwimTopia app or browser. Start the declaration process as if you’re marking them “attending.” Any event that appears greyed out and marked ineligible is an event they still need a time for.

Makeup timing at practice

In upcoming practices, coaches will reserve one lane for makeup times for all age groups. Parents will need to coordinate with each other and with their swimmers to get these times completed. Coaches will continue running regular practice for swimmers who already completed Time Trials.

Submitting times

Once your swimmer completes a makeup swim, please email me:

• Swimmer name
• Age group
• Event
• Time

Send to [email protected]. I’ll enter the times, confirm with you once they’re in, and your swimmer will then be eligible to declare for future meets.

Our goal is to finish this process quickly so we can return to using all lanes for full practices. The absolute last day to complete makeup times is May 6th.

Thank you for your cooperation!
