Good morning,

Tomorrow's meet against Sunny Willow is going to be very close. Please make every effort to attend. It will be HOT so please keep the kids hydrated, well fed and out of the heat during the day. We still need a Stroke & Turn Judge and a Place Judge. Report times for tomorrow night:

• *Divers: 3:45pm (*Tentatively starting 30 minutes early due to large number of divers and senior night activities)
• Dive volunteers: 4:15pm
• Swimmers: 5pm
• Swim Volunteers: 5:45pm

Attached to this email you will find the most recent list of "Top 50" times for the league that is used to determine who will participate in "A" Champs. The details about Championship meets are below again for convenience. Please RSVP for Champs meets and fill out the GOOGLE FORM as described below if you have yet to do so.

Championships Qualification & Schedule

The following 2 items need to be done ASAP (although championship meets are more than a week away, the league seeding meeting occurs next weekend so all information must be completed by next Wednesday night at the latest).

1. Please RSVP for kids in SwimTopia for all Championship meets that may apply (A AND B for swimmers, Diving for divers). No matter whether a swimmer will qualify for A or B, select “Attending” for all meets you CAN make it to. Select ”not attending” for champs meets you CANNOT attend. This is important for relay decisions.
2. Also fill out this GOOGLE FORM to indicate preferred events for swimmers. Swimmers who qualify or are close to qualifying for A Champs should make their highest-ranked events their first choices (see below).

“A” swimming Champs is on Saturday 7/27 in the morning at Hideaway.

• To qualify for A Champs, Swimmers need to be amongst the top performers in an event across the league.
• The top 18 times in each event automatically qualify.
• 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 times in each event. This will change slightly after our last two meets.
• A child can participate in 4 events maximum at A Champs with a maximum of 3 individual events (Diving counts as an event).
• Swimmers who do not qualify as individuals may be used to fill RELAYS at A Champs. This DOES NOT eliminate them from B Champs participation. This decision is made by the coaches. Medley and Free Relays are BOTH competed at A Champs.

“B” Champs is Wed 7/24 late afternoon/evening @ Fort Washington.

• Children who do not qualify for A Champs can swim 3 events in B Champs (there are no relays at B Champs).
• A swimmer who qualifies for ONLY ONE event at A Champs can still swim 2 events at B Champs (but not the event in which they qualified for A Champs).
• Swimmers who qualify for multiple individual events at A Champs (diving included) are ineligible for B Champs.
• B Champs include a 6 & Under age group.

Diving Champs is Friday 7/26 from 7am to 1pm (ish) at Sunny Willow

• The top 18 diver averages (average of each diver’s top 2 scores) qualify for “A” Diving Champs.
• If divers in the top 18 are unavailable, number 19, 20… become eligible.
• All other divers may participate in “B” Champs.
• A and B Champs are on the same day but at different times (TBD)
