Date & Start Time: Saturday, July 9 at 9:00 AM
Location: Searcy Swim Center, 525 Recreation Way
Facility: 25 yard pool with 8 lanes. The 2nd and 4th swimmers in the 100-yard relays may want to start in the water because of the pool depth. Also, all the 25-yard events will start in the “shallow” end. The therapy pool will be available throughout the meet for warm-up/cool-down for swimmers 11 and up only. No tolerance will be given for misuse of the therapy pool. Lifeguards will be on duty.
Bullpen: Bullpen for 10&U will be utilized for this meet.
Eligibility: AAU registered athletes that are on a South Wind Swim Conference team.
Age Divisions: Individual events will be 6 & Under Exhibition, 8 & Under, 9-10 years, 11-12 years, 13-14 years, and 15-18 years. Relays will be 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 12 & Under, 14 & Under, and 18 & Under with the stipulation that at least one swimmer on the relay must be in that age group. There will also be Mixed Relays with the stipulation that there are 2 swimmers of each gender on the relay and that at least one swimmer on the relay must be in that age group. A swimmer’s age as of June 1st shall determine their age division, unless they have declared otherwise.
6 & U Swimmers
6 & U events are not scored, are not judged, and are strictly "exhibition". They count towards a swimmer's 6 "splashes" required to be eligible for conference finals.
However, in order to swim at conference finals, all 6 & U swimmers must have a legal time which can only be obtained by swimming the 8 & U events which are judged for proper stroke technique. In 6 & U events, swimmers will receive participant ribbons.
If a 6 & U swimmer is not able to swim without help, whether that is a person, fins, or floaties, they are probably not ready to participate in the meet and should continue to just practice until such a time that they can attempt to swim the length of the pool unassisted. The lane ropes are always there, should they need to grab on them.
