When a meet is open for entry it will be displayed in Swim Manager. If there are cut off times or qualifying times only those your athlete qualify for will have a tick box.

 

If you are unsure what you should enter your athlete for please speak to a coach. Most competitions you have to be 9 to enter, but events like club champs everyone is welcome and encouraged to enter

 

It is advised that swimmers compete in a all disciplines as skills develop and preferences change as they grow. Also as each stroke uses different muscle groups it helps reduce the risk of injury from repetition.
