During the course of the season, SWAC will compete in dual meets.  A dual meet is simply a meet that involves two teams.  Regular season meets are against teams in our own division.  A complete schedule of dual meets is available here.  The team season ends with Conference and League Finals Dual Meets.  Individual swimmers can then compete in Championships.  There are two Championship meets: League or "A" and Division or "B".  "A" Championships are usually held at LaSalle University. This is the league individual championships and only swimmers with the top 18 times (plus 2 alternates) in the entire league in each event are eligible for "A" championships.  Swimmers can track their overall league standings at the SAL website by following the Top 40 Lists link.  ALL swimmers are eligible for "B" championships (but cannot swim in events for which they qualify for "A" championships; there is a limit on the combined number of entries for "A" & "B" Championships). The "B" Championships are divisional: each division holds a championship meet. for "A" and "B" Championships, swimmers are seeded according to their best times for a particular event.   "A" and "B" championships are individual competitions only (No team competition).
