2022 All Star Meet Information

All Team Reps are expected to check their team’s entry forms and verify you are following the rules set forth in the bylaws. Don’t make assumptions about how to interpret a rule. If in doubt, ask ahead of time. Contact the Greater Charlotte Swim League Board at [email protected]

Seeding: All events will be Timed Finals and seeded by time (not by lane assignment).

Alternates:

• It is highly recommended to list alternate swimmers. No swimmer will be allowed to swim once the psyche sheet is emailed to the teams, unless they have been listed as an alternate. Remember, listing a swimmer as an alternate counts as an entry.
