B Champs/Prelim Information
B Champs
1.Anyone who qualifies in an individual event according to the GSSSL team standards shall not be eligible to swim in the “B-Championship” meet with one exception. If an individual makes a qualifying time in one individual event, he/she can swim in the “B-Championship” meet if: He/she gives up his/her right to swim in the GSSSL Preliminaries and he/she cannot swim in that event in the “B-Championship” meet that he/she made the qualifying time.
2. An individual who swims on a relay team that makes a GSSSL qualifying time, but does not make one individually, may swim in the “B-Championship” meet. Coaches will make decisions upon relay participants.
Just because you were in a relay that qualified for prelims does not mean this will be the relay entered for prelims. That being said your swimmer may not have qualified in an individual race but they may be part of a relay that has qualified.
Here is a link to these times.

Prelims Information
Anyone who has qualified in an individual event (and can swim it legally) will be able to swim in the prelim meet. If you cannot attend any championship meet beyond Prelims you cannot participate in Prelim meet.
“Wild Card” Participants 8&U and 10&U
Each team may enter one swimmer in each event and one relay team whose time does not meet the published qualifying times in the 8 & under and 10 & under age groups only.
I typically will use this for someone who is very close or will be participating in a relay but has not qualified in an individual event. I will let you know if your swimmer is the wild card
Here is a big issue!
It is the responsibility of the coach to know that a swimmer that competes in the preliminaries for the Post Season will be available to swim in both the Divisional and All City Championship meets. Swimmers who will be unable to participate in the Divisions or All City meets are prohibited from swimming in the Preliminaries.
Please declare in prelims meet "not attending" if you cannot attend Northern Divisional Meet or the All-City meet.
