Senior Meet Plan for Spring 2026

 

Hey Seniors -

 

We have an 8 Week training block that is going to feed into our Championship Cycle.  The 8 Weeks starts the 29th of December and will go through the following meets:

 

Jan 30th-Feb1 - FAST Meet (Ocala) SCY

Feb 12th-15th - Sectionals (Plantation) LCM - Optional Team Travel Sign Up Coming Soon
Feb 22nd-23rd - SLAC Meet (Clermont) SCY

 

We want to do 2 of these meets, with a focus on Sectionals for the qualifiers.  The ideal tune up will be the Clermont meet for Senior Champs kids and FAST for FLAGs kids in this training block.  If you don't have a Secftionals cut, focus on the two SCY meets.

 

Area 4 swim meet (Feb29-March1) will be as a “Last Chance” for those needing to convert a new time for FLAGs or for Senior Champs or for those without cuts for FLAGs or Seniors.

 

Reminder dates for Championships:

We will swim all days of Championship meets so make sure your calendar is cleared and rooms booked for the following dates:

 

FLAGs (Ocala) - March 5th-8th
Senior (Rosen Orlando) - March 12th-15th

 

Note:
Senior Champs has a new format that is really favoring 15-16 and 17-18 age groups.  14&Under and 19&Older swimmers will have to have the Open time standard cut (roughly Sectionals) to qualify for the meet.  You still have two bonus cuts regardless of how many qualifying swims you have up to a max of 6 events.

A finals will be the Top 8 total times from prelims of any age and will be the only finals a 14&Under or a 19&Older swimmer can make finals in.
There will then be an A and B final of 15-16 (Top 16) and an A and B final of 17-18 (Top 16) for each event 500 and down.  1000 and 1650 remain timed final events.
