2013-2014 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 opens September 1 of the current season
- Entry Limits: 8&U (4 Individual Entries, 5 Maximum Entries) 9-10 (5 IE, 6 Max) 11-12 & 13-14 (6 IE, 7 Max) 15-21 (6 IE, 8 Max) | There is a limit of 3 Individual Entries per day | 11-12 & 13-14 swimmers may swim 8 events if at least one is a 21&U relay
- 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
- Event List & Time Standards: The order of events is being finalized and will be published when it is complete | Proposed Event Order as a Session Report
- Dual Meet Template (Updated 12.4.13) with District Guideline Times and State and National Time Standards
- Time Standards Import File (for Team Manager) | Unzip and then Import to TM
- 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

2014 Illini District Guideline Times
Illini District Guideline Times: A swimmer achieving a District guideline time is ineligible to compete at the Junior District Championship in the event in which they achieved the District guideline time. The Junior District meet is an alternative to the District meet for 12&under swimmers one week prior to the District Championship; relays are omitted. To be eligible for the Junior District or Disctrict Championship, a swimmer is required to compete in three, closed-YMCA swim meets and be a member of the YMCA they are representing as of December 1, 2013. Swimmers competing at Junior Districts are eligible for relays at the District meet but may not compete in individual events. Note: These guideline times are NOT strict standards to compete in the District Championship.
Junior Districts: Hosted by the SAMY Seals at the Mattoon Area Family YMCA, February 22.
Districts: Hosted by the SPY Typhoons at the Gus & Flora Kerasotes Branch of the Springfield YMCA, March 8-9.
