The Gold Group and I sat down on Wednesday to go over the meet schedule for the next two months. The Senior Prep group and I will be going over the meet schedule this afternoon. I have a preliminary list of the swimmers signed up for the IMX meet coming up at the end of this month and there seems to be some confusion with this meet. This is not a typical meet where we pick and choose which events OR days we are swimming.
PURPOSE OF MEET:
The IMX meet is a motivational program whereby swimmers will be scored and ranked nationally on their performance in a combination of five or six events. The purpose of the program is to promote versatility in age group swimming while advocating greater participation and development across a range of events that are integral to long term success in swimming. The events are as follows; 10 and under’s 200IM, 200 FREE, 100 BACK, 100 BREAST, 100 FLY. 11 AND 12 YEAR OLDS; 500 FREE, 200 IM, 100 BACK, 100 BREAST, 100 FLY. 13 AND OVERS 200 IM, 400 IM, 500 FREE, 200 BACK, 200 BREAST, 200 FLY. This is the program for each age group. After swimming the events in your program your score is totaled and you are able to see where you rank on your team, in the region and across the country.
This meet will be fun but grueling and one of the few meets where each swimmer swims every event. If for some reason you are not planning to commit to all three days and all the events, YOU SHOULD NOT ENTER THIS MEET! As I stated before this is not a meet to just pick and choose events because unless you swim all of the events in your program your score will not be totaled.
If you are just swimming a particular event for time, you should be entering the January Open or one of the qualifier meets in the next month.
Any questions Please ask me. Mike
