    ABOUT THE RACES

    The coaches tried to note the strokes for new swimmers and some returning swimmers who have moved up to a new age group. The list is here, if you have a question send Caitlin an email and she'll try to figure it out. As a reminder for time trials and meets, your swimmer swims with their age group, not their practice group. If your 9-10 is currently practicing with the 8U group and is not ready to swim a 50 meter race yet, they can skip time trials.
     
    8U swimmers:
    all races are 25 meters
    New swimmers are marked yes if they are ok to swim on Saturday. If you are not marked at all but you were on the team last year and only swimming free and back in meets by the end of last summer, you are still only swimming free and back this Saturday.  If swimmers swam breast or fly last year as an 8U but is not marked on the list they can swim it at time trials.
    9-10 swimmers:
    free, back, and breaststroke are 50 meters, fly is still a 25 meter race
    All 9-10 swimmers should plan to swim free and back (if your swimmer feels unready for a 50 M backstroke, they don't need to try it this time). If swimmers swam breaststroke or fly last year as an 8U or 9 yr old but are not marked on the list they can swim it at time trials.
    11 and up swimmers:
    all races are 50 meters
    Plan to swim all 4 strokes: unless you know the coaches told you differently.
