CSI Pioneer Open

  • REGISTRATION IS OPEN: CSI PIO - Entry Deadline is Sunday, 11/23 @ 10:00PM
    • CAQ HDC qualifying times will count for this meet!

NJST Blizzard Invite

  • 12/12-12/14 at Arvada Aquatic Center
  • NO Qualifying Standards
  • This is a BIG midseason invite that will be super fun at an amazing facility! A "prelims-finals" format without the bells & whistles! Swimmers are able to sign up for 5 events per DAY, however, please read and follow the guidelines we are setting! There are two main options how you should sign your swimmer up for this meet:
    • OPTION A - Single Session: If you only want to swim in the AM -OR- the PM session, we recommend a maximum of 3 events for 13&O swimmers and 4 events for 12&U swimmers.
    • OPTION B - Prelims-Finals: If you want the feel of a prelims-finals format, we recommend your swimmer sign up for the SAME event in the AM and PM sessions! In order to stay under the 5 events per day rule, you would do this for two races and the 5th event would be optional (preferably in the AM session).
    • If you have any questions on these options, please reach out to myself or Coach Alex via email and we can walk you through the best plan for your swimmer!
    • The OPEN Mile (1650 FR) is the single event on Friday PM!
