Information provided to assist with a successful, fun and efficient meet season for you and your swimmer(s)!

Swimming in our area (Southeast) is divided into 2 'seasons'

Long course / Spring/Summer season (April thru August)

and

Short course / Fall/Winter Season (August thru May)

SHORT COURSE

Short course (Aug thru May) is swum in 25 yard pools.

All MYB swimmers regardless of age are coached for, and encouraged to
attend short course meets.

These meets are identified on the meet schedule as team, optional or level/qualifiers meets. Most short course meets are TEAM meets where it is expected that all MYB swimmers will attend.

	If the meet is a "TEAM" meet - this means ALL MYB swimmers must OPT IN if they wish to attend this meet. Your escrow account will be charged for the meet
	If the meet is a "Qualifiers" - this means ALL MYB swimmers WITH QUALIFYING TIMES FOR THAT MEET must OPT IN if they wish to attend. Your escrow account will be charged for the meet. Qualifier Meets will have a link to the appropriate qualifying time standards, if you are still not sure if you are qualified, please check with your coach.

All meet entries must be final 30 calendar days before the meet start date -
all entries will be submitted and charged at that time (as per
handbook/contract) so please review meet schedules in a timely manner.

Short Course season ends with 3 "Championship Meets"

	For 8 and under swimmers - The Districts 8&Under Championship Meet ends the short course season
	For "Intermediate" Swimmers who made "southeastern qualifying times/cuts" the Southeastern Championship Meet ends the short course season
	For National Team Members who made "National Times/Cuts/Senior times" The YMCA Nationals Championship ends the short course season. (This meet is called "Y-NATS")

LONG COURSE

Long course (May thru Aug) is swum in 50 Meter ("Olympic size") pools

ALL MYB Swimmers are eligible to participate in Long Course meets. Check
with coaching staff to determine which Long Course meets are appropriate for your swimmer.

MYB Swimmers have three "types" of summer swimming options - check
