Line Up Methodology

This week we are busy with 3 meets.  ALL swimmers will compete Saturday.  On Tuesday we will take all boys, varsity girls and any swimmers new to our program this year.  Fridays line-up is TBD.

Whenever possible we try to look at a line up with an eye towards the end of the season.  Many times the thinking is -  what can be done today to help a swimmer progress this season.  Sometimes the answer to this can even take precedence over the outcome of the meet (team score).  Sometimes the answer is to make the meet as competitive as possible.  Many times, what we do surprises the swimmers but works in the end.

With event limitations and varying abilities is can be very difficult to get every swimmer in a variety of events and experiences.  We try our hardest to provide that though and to challenge our swimmers to compete out of their comfort zone.
