• If swimmers in the top 18 cannot make it or choose to swim different events, the 19th, 20th (and so on) fastest times become eligible.
• Attached to this email is a list of the swimmers with the current top 40 times in each event to help you predict if a swimmer might qualify.

• Children who do not qualify for A Champs can swim 2 events in “B” Champs (Wed 7/27 @ Hideaway).
