USA Swimming
USA Swimming is the national governing body for swimming in the United States. EAC participates to provide swimmers additional competitive (and learning) opportunities. Participation includes a registration and club fee. Once you are registered, you may choose which team events you wish to attend and pay a fee per event you sign up for.
Our LSC (Local Swim Club) is Middle Atlantic Swimming (MA) and our club code is EAC. Meets are generally more competitive and give the swimmers a chance to swim events they don’t normally swim. Events like 100 and 200 of each stroke, 200 and 400 IM and 500, 1000, and 1650 Free.
We attend generally six to seven meets during the season while working toward achieving qualifying times for Junior Olympics, Senior Champs and Silver Champs in March. Most meet locations will be fairly local. We typically travel to Cumberland Valley, Central York, Keystone Aquatics(Carlisle) and possibly Malvern. We sometimes go to University of Delaware for meets as an overnight meet.
Meet Format
○ Meets generally run 2-3 days with 2-3 sessions per day.
○ Swimmers don’t have to swim every day of the meet. They can pick one day which has
the events they want to swim or both days. You can fit it into your schedule.
