USA SWIMMERS:
This will be a USA Swimming approved meet (held under the sanction of USA swimming, Ozark Swimming sanction number ____.) Those teams that want their swimmers swims observed and times recorded in the USA Swimming data base (SWIMS) must provide the name (first, middle, last), date of birth, and USA Swimming athlete registration number with their Invitational entries on sheet provided. Please do not build an ID in Team Manager if the swimmers are not registered with USA Swimming as this will delay the process of getting times submitted into SWIMS.
Any swimmer entered in the meet must be certified by a USA Swimming Member coach as being proficient in performing a racing start or must start each race from within the water. When unaccompanied by a member-coach, it is the responsibility of the swimmer or the swimmer’s legal guardian to ensure compliance with this request.

We will accept late entries up to 45 minutes prior to the start of each session, but ONLY to fill vacant lanes in existing heats. We will not create new heats to accommodate late entries. The cost of late entries is $6.00/individual event and $24.00/relay. Late entry fees take effect Friday, the first day of the meet. Once we have seeded the meet, late entrants will be placed ONLY in vacant lanes in their gender and age group regardless of their seed time. Scratches will be accepted throughout the meet.
ELIGIBILITY:
Swimmers age as of December 1, 2015 will determine their age group for competition. Swimmers must meet all the Heartland Area YMCA and “The Rules that Govern Competitive Sports” eligibility requirements. In individual events, a swimmer may only swim in one competitive age group. In case of 12 year olds, they may swim in the 15-21 events that are not being held in their age group. In relay events, a swimmer may swim up one age group (or two age groups for 11-12’s only). The 8&under and 9-10 age groups cannot swim up 2 age groups.
