We are part of Swim Ontarios "Central Region", the most populated and deep swimming region in the country by a mile. Because of our numbers, SwimON has broken the Central Region into three different meets: A, B, and C Championships. These are the three "regional" level meets which all fall on different weekends in Feb.
Above the "Regional" meets are the "Provincial" meets. There are three of these: Ontario Festivals (for 13 and unders), Ontario Youth-Juniors (for 13&Overs), and the Ontario Swimming Championship (for 13&Overs). All of these meets have their own time standards.
With all of these meets happening over the span of 5 weeks, there is bound to be some crossover:
- The CR "C" meet and the Ontario Festival meet fall on the same weekend in different locations
- The OYJ and OSC meets fall on the same weekend in different locations
For our swimmers not qualified for any of the meets above, we will be attending the Burlington Spring Invtiational the final weekend of Feb.

Notes:
- Swim Ontario has TWO sets of time standards for 13 year olds published. "Festival" lettered standards, and "Standard" lettered standards. They choose to use the "Festival" ones for qualification purposes.
- Note that 12 and unders have different qualification/dequalification standards than 13&Overs.
