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).
