IL YMCA State Championship Changes
- Summary of Changes to the Illinois YMCA State Championship Meet
- Reason for Change: To address the best interest of the swimmers | The St. Louis District seceded from the Illinois Missouri Area | Swimmers will now be competing in the Illinois YMCA State Swimming Championship in March
- Meet Format: The District/Area Championship Series has ended | The new State Championship format will be two days, mixed gender, prelim/final for 11&Over and timed final for 10&Under swimmers
- Qualifying Period: Swimmers will no longer be required to qualify for State at the District meet | The qualifying period for the March State Championship begins March 1 of the previous season
- Entry Limits: 8&U and 9-10 (5 Individual Entries, 6 Maximum Entries) 11-12, 13-14 and 15-21 (6 IE, 8 Max) | There is a limit of 3 Individual Entries per day
- Eligibility Rules Still Apply: A swimmer must be a member in good standing of the association they are representing for 30 days prior to their first competition and 90 days prior to the championship meet | Swimmers must compete in three closed-YMCA competitions to be eligible for the State Championship | The District Championship can count as one of the three closed-YMCA competitions and is required to participate in the State Championship
- Illinois YMCA Swims Database: Email a Meet Backup or Meet Results file to the Illinois YMCA Swimming webmaster, Dave Brtva (ilswyms@gmail.com) | The goal of this database is two-fold: to analyze times achieved through the season to determine whether our State Championship Time Standards are accurate and to build proof of times for the end-of-season State Championship
