USA Swimming sponsors four Zone Select Camps in an effort to identify the emerging young athletes in each Zone and offer them a unique motivational and educational experience. The Zone Select Camps are viewed as an integral step for athletes to move from the local and Zone level onto to the national scene.

Southern Zone – May 24-27, 2012 – University of Louisville – Louisville, KY

 

28 male and 28 female athletes are selected in each of the four Zones.

Selected girls must be age 12-13 at the time of performance.

Selected boys must be age 13-14 at the time of performance.

 

15 athletes of each sex are selected based on 2011 Long Course Meters (LCM) IMX point scores according to the following:

Eight girls age 12 and eight boys age 13

Seven girls age 13 and seven boys age 14

 

Then, the fastest swimmer in each Zone in each Long Course Meters (LCM) Olympic event (excluding the 50 free, including the 800 and 1500 for both sexes) is invited for a total of 13 additional male and 13 additional female athletes. If a swimmer was already selected based on IMX score, the next fastest swimmer is selected in that event.

Old dog learns new trick: Using the search function to locate meets

by

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?  I’ve always spent a fair amount of time scrolling down the meet schedule to locate meets. It was a little cumbersome but before long I was pretty good at it.  Then it was pointed out to me that I had been ignoring the little note above the search box at the upper right hand corner.  It says: “Use the SEARCH BOX below to locate meets quickly.”  I wish I had found it earlier.  You can instantly pull up any NCS meet from 2007 to 2012 by simply typing in the sanction number, the city, all or part of the meet name, the host club, or even the meet director or meet referee – and it is really fast!  I may never “scroll over” that list again.
