Titans Meet Entry
Policies & Guidelines
All policies apply to athletes committed
to enter a meet.
General Policies
- The coaching
staff will determine all entries for all committed
swimmers.
- Swimmers wishing to enter a
meet after the entry deadline has passed will probably not be
entered.
- Once entries are completed
you will be charged for all fees regardless of actual
participation.
Individual Entries
- You may have the option to
select events when you sign up for a meet. Please feel free to
do so. However, the coaching staff will make the final entry
determination for each member of the Titans. Your selections
may not be reflected in the final entry.
- Although there may be an
occasional exception, the coaches are not likely to enter a swimmer
in the longer distance of an event if the swimmer has not
successfully completed the shorter distance of the same stroke
successfully.
Examples:
- An 8 year old that has not
successfully completed the 25 fly will probably not be entered in
the 50 fly.
- A 10 year old that has not
successfully completed the 50 breast will probably not be entered
in the 100 breast.
- A 12 year old that has not
successfully completed the 100 IM will probably not be entered in
the 200 IM.
- Before entering a swimmer
into the 400m/500y free the coaches will usually require that a
swimmer have successfully completed the 200y free in 3:00.00 or
faster.
- Before entering a swimmer in
the 1500m/1650y free the coaches will usually require that a
swimmer have successfully completed a 500y free in 7:30.00 or
faster.
- Before entering a swimmer in
the 400 IM coaches will usually require that a swimmer have
successfully completed a 200 IM in 3:30.00 or faster.
Relay Entries
- The coaching staff will
determine all relay team members at a meet.
- Relays will be entered if
enough swimmers are entered in the meet to fill a relay
team.
- Swimmers that fail to attend
a meet or otherwise fail to participate in a relay to which they
have been assigned may be required to pay the entire entry fee for
the relay team.
- Relay entry fees will be
billed out after a meet to reflect actual
participation.
- At many meets coaches will
use their discretion in attempting to get every capable swimmer the
opportunity to swim on a relay.
