Upcoming Events and Deadlines
Sectionals
Sectionals are Sunday, February 14 in Ankeny. Please let coaches know your intentions regarding competing at Sectionals as soon as possible. It might be a good idea to write it on a piece of paper, including your name...even if your intention is to NOT attend. When planning for Sectionals, please consider whether or not you intend to participate at State competition. We don't put swimmers on relays at Sectionals that don't intend to go on to state. If a relay team qualifies for State at Sectionals, but any one or more of the members of the team don't go on to State, then none of the swimmers on that team can swim that relay at State.
State
Saturday, March 6 -- BOYS
Sunday, March 7 -- GIRLS
You must meet the qualifying times at Sectionals to be able to swim at State (or have the best time).
Additional information on these events can be found below on this page.
