Swimming can be an confusing sport to understand. It's different than all land sports because the conditioning is important and different - you can't stop in the middle of a race to catch a breath!

Swim meets can also be frustrating and difficult to understand.  The below information is intended to help parents decipher what is happening on the deck during a swim meet and how to prepare your swimmer.

Please review the events, how to read a heat sheet and how to tattoo your swimmer for meets! It will make them much more enjoyable and easier for you and your kiddos!!

The NMSL has changed the order of events for the 2024 swim season.  

So that our 6 and under swimmers can finish earlier in the evening during meets we have moved EVENT 35 - the 100 Mixed Freestyle relay for 6 and under to EVENT 0. 

We will begin all the meets with this event for the season. 

This way, the last 6 and under event will be EVENT 24 - Girls 6 and under backstroke.
