Divisional Entries Now Open (Divisional Shirts Available for Order Too!)
Good evening,
As promised please find the way to enter into Divisionals.
If you are interested in a Divisional Tshirt the orders are due on Tuesday July 13th. Order here: https://midpennswim.itemorder.com/sale
Please read below carefully as we are NOT using Swimtopia site for all needed information (there are 2 parts to signing up!)
First, in order to be eligible for championships you must have attended two Saturday Dual Meets this season. We encourage all swimmers to participate in this meet if possible as it's really our end of season meet where you swim races based on time against all the other teams in our Division. Division Championships Fees for swimmers are covered by team
How do I sign-up
Sign-ups are found in Swimtopia, however you will also need to complete the following form in Google Forms (https://forms.gle/Gmnyp5rK9ib3EXWV9) regarding your 3rd choice event (You will definitely swim the first 2 choices), willing to participate in relays, and if you are able to go to All Stars and Mid-Caps if you qualify.
When are entries due?
Entries must be submitted by THIS SATURDAY July 17th at 5:00 PM. Whether you plan to attend or not I need you to RSVP.
Can I pick my events?
Yes. Swimmers (parents) can pick their events. However there can't be any changes after Monday morning July 19th. So please make sure you select events they will and want to swim. Also please make sure you put your preferences in order for individiual events in the Google Form as if you are put in a relay, your third event will be dropped.
I want to swim a relay, how do I let you know? There is a question about willing to swim a relay in the sign-ups. Make sure you select "yes". In order to be put in a relay swimmers must be available for All Stars and Mid-Caps. If they are only available for Divisionals they will NOT be put in a relay.
Do NOT list "relay" as one of your event choices.
Do I have to pick 3 individual events? No. you can do one or two. If you aren't sure and want the coaches to make a decision you can also write "coaches choice" in an event.
Another great resource to help you pick is the MPSL Top 20 rankings (found on www.swimmpsl.org) They will be posted this week after being delayed!
Volunteers
Volunteer sign-ups are inside Swimtopia (forthcoming when we get them from the Host). You get FREE admission if you are signed up to volunteer. The host team tells us the slots we have to fill, we do not have a choice in what was given to us.
What is All Stars?
So we are in C Division. There is also an A and B Division. All Stars takes the top 16 swimmers from across all 3 Divisions and merges their times done at Divisionals together and the top 16 then swim at All Stars on Sunday July 25th. This year it will be held in Annville.
What is Mid-Cap(s)?
Mid-Cap(s) stands for Mid (Mid-Penn Swim League) Cap (Capital Area Swim League).
We belong to the east shore's Mid-Penn Swim League. The other side of the river is the Capital Area Swim League. Mid-Caps sees the top 8 swimmers from each side's All Star Meet having a championship or east vs. west meet. This year it will be held on the west shore in Carlisle at Keystone Aquatics Center.
All Sign-ups are due on Saturday July 17th at 5 PM. You MUST RSVP in Swimtopia and complete the Google Form. Volunteer call will be coming soon!
