I just started swimming masters and this spring will be my first Nationals. It seems there are no 400 medley/free or 800 free relays at Nationals. Can someone please verify this? Does this mean that the National records for these events are set at regular "in season" meets?
Thanks in advance.
:rolleyes:
The age group of a short course yards relay is determined by the age of the youngest swimmer. The others on the relay can be any age. The age groups for SCY relays are 18 and over, 25 and over, 35 and over, 45 and over, 55 and over, 65 and over, 75 and over, continuing in 10 year increments.
For Meters, both short course and long course, the age groups for relays is determined by the sum of the ages of the swimmers. The age sum must fit within the range specified: 72-99, 100-119, 120-159, 160-199, 200-239, continuing in 40 year increments.
The rules regarding Age Groups are found in Article 102.3 of the USMS Rulebook which is available online:http://www.usms.org/rules/
Hope that helps.
