Hello everyone,

All swimmers may continue to participate in practice until February 3rd. 

After that, the regular season ends and only swimmers who qualified and are attending post season meets (CHMC, Districts, States, Nationals) are eligible to train in post season practices.

Post Season Fees

• CHMC Qualifiers: $20/swimmer
• Districts + Beyond: Additional $20/swimmer (total of $40)
• Post-Season HS Swimmers: $15/swimmer (not an additional $15, just $15)

1. CHMC: 

• Entry Deadline (you choose the events): Feb. 4th, 12:00 pm. 
• We then determine if we need to combine any practice groups and will send confirmation of practice times that night, so swimmers know when they are training starting on Monday, 2/6.
• Training Dates: 2/6 - 2/23, training group times are TBD and may change slightly.
• Dryland remains for swimmers who are attending Districts, but not CHMC.

2. Districts (relay or individual qualifiers):

• Initial Entry Deadline: Feb. 4, 12:00 pm (determines who is allowed to continue training). 
• District Relays 1: Some swimmers who did not qualify individually for Districts, will still participate in one or more District relays. I will send out the list of District relays with alternatives on February 4th.
• Final Individual Entry Deadline: Feb. 26, 12:00 pm (For CHMC participants).
• District Relays 2: Final District relays with alternatives will be sent on Feb. 26. Please know, relays MAY CHANGE. All qualifying regular season relay swimmer combinations are just place holders until FINAL relay determinations are made after CHMC. Please refer to this link for an explanation of the process and logic we use to determine who gets on the relays - NEYS Season Structure. Scroll down to the "Post Season", "Central District" area.
• Training Dates: 2/6 - 3/8: Practice groups & times are TBD, but likely to change slightly again after CHMC.
• 2/27 - 3/8: No dryland.
• 3/9: Travel day for Friday qualifiers and coaches.
• 3/13: No Practice, rest day.

3. State & National Qualifiers: I'll send a separate email with details to those that qualify. 

4. Team Awards Dinner: Held in early/mid APRIL. We'll also start running our Spring sessions in April, and send out summer swim team info around that time too. 

See you on deck!
