Regarding SILVER CHAMPIONSHIPS

Meet Info

Q:  What is Silvers?

A:  This is the 1st step in the Metropolitan LSC championship meet progression.  First Silvers, then Junior Olympics (JOs), then Senior Metropolitan Championship (Sr Mets)

Q:  Who will swim in Silvers?

A:  Good question.  Here's the long answer.

 As it is a championship meet, there are TIME STANDARDS which swimmers must achieve in order to be eligible to swim in this meet.  Swimmers may qualify in one or more events, but can only swim in the events for which they have met the time standards.  

Silvers is unique in that there are TWO SETS of time standards.  You must be fast enough to make the meet AND not too fast! (Huh?) Swimmers who have achieved JO times in an event can't swim THAT / THOSE events at Silvers.

SO, your answer:  All swimmers, from all Empire groups, who have times that fit in the SILVERS time range will be entered in the meet. 

 

If you have more questions, PLEASE ASK!  Your coaches will be glad to help you understand more.
