What Are Invitational
Meets?
In the world of recreational swimming, the term
invitational is a bit of a misnomer. These are meets to which our
team has been invited. In almost all of our Invitational meets,
anybody can swim. Individuals do not need to be INVITED! In fact we
encourage participation in these meets. Invitational meets involve
swimmers from multiple teams from a given area or region. They are
excellent opportunities for young swimmers to swim against members
of teams we don’t swim against in dual meets. Often our
swimmers record their very best times in this type of
atmosphere.
Dana Hills
Pentathlon
This meet demands every swimmer swim all 5
strokes (Free, Breast, Fly, Back and IM) on the same day. 6&U
do 50yd Free instead of IM. Swimmers are assigned to the same
heat/same lane for each event. Swimmers are seeded in Red and Blue
flights based on entry times. Scoring combines performance in all 5
events. Each swimmer swims only one day of the 2-day meet.
Woodlands
Invitational
This meet is a warm-up for City Meet. Only the
best swimmers from each team participate. The coaches select them.
Only 2 swimmers from each team may enter each event.
City
Meet
DON’T MISS THIS ONE! This is the
culmination of the season. There is a whole week’s worth of
activities building up to this one. It is for the Concord Cup of
recreational swimming, as well as a great opportunity to take the
measure of all the Concord swim teams one last time. We don’t
swim all the Concord teams during the season, but all will be there
for this meet. Everybody sees schoolmates and family friends who
live in different areas of Concord at City Meet. It is a 3-day
meet, beginning Friday evening.
The Crossings Challenge
Invitational
The Walnut Country Swim Team is proud to host its
invitational meet this year! This invitational is unique! It will
be a fun, competitive, and affordable invitational for "B" level
recreational swimmers. We will award both effort and results with
high quality medals for each participant. We look forward to
recognizing swimmers who may not always see their efforts rewarded
at large meets. Since many "B" swimmers may not often have the
opportunity to swim in a relay, we have also included both mixed
and conventional relays. Trophies will be awarded to the first and
second place teams. The first placed team is awarded a traveling
trophy, which it defends the next year.
Meet Eligibility
All swimmers must swim in their own age group for
individual events, as determined by their age on June 15, 2001. In
an effort to fill out a relay team, a swimmer may swim up one age
group. A swimmer may not swim up an age group for individual
events.
This meet is for "B swimmers." No swimmer with a
recorded time, as of July 1st, equal to or faster than a Walnut
Country "A" time (110% of County Time) may swim that particular
stroke in either a relay or individual event.
