In order to qualify to swim in the Shelby County Swimming Championships, you must first meet at least one of the following Qualifying Times. In addition, each team is allowed to enter only 3 swimmers in each event, so the final decision on who will actually swim in any particular event at the Championship meet will be a coach's decision that depends upon how many others have qualified to the same event (among other factors).
ENTRY LIMITS:
1. A team may enter 3 swimmers in
each individual event, provided each of those swimmers has achieved the
established Qualifying Time for that event during one of the league meets
for this particular season. Having achieved one of these times in the
past will not preclude your having to qualify again this season. The team
may also enter 1 relay per relay event.
2. A swimmer may enter a total of 2 individual events and 2 relays OR 1 individual event and 3 relays.
