Swimmer Eligibility
- To be eligible for this league, a swimmer must be between the ages of 4 and 14. The swimmer’s age for the summer swimming season is determined by the age of that individual on June 1st of that year.
- Each swimmer, including those 6 and under, should be able to swim the length of the course independently. An assistant may be in the pool during the 6 and under events but must be located at the end of the lane only for the first heat. For later heats, the assistant may help the swimmer across the pool if necessary for safety.
- Each swimmer may swim a maximum 5 individual events. Fly, back, breast, free and IM). No swimmer may swim the same stroke in more than one age group. (IE: swimmer cannot swim 9/10 25 yard fly and 11/12 50 yard fly)
- A swimmer may swim their age group in one event, and another age group in a subsequent event. (IE: 9/10 25 yard fly and 13/14 50 yard back)
- A swimmer may NOT swim more than one leg of a given relay (IE: swimmer may not swim both the first and last leg of the relay)
- A swimmer may swim as many relays as they would like, as long as they DO NOT swim DOWN an age group (IE: a 9/10 swimmer may not swim any 7/8 relays, but may swim 9/10, 11/12, and 13/14 relays)
