How does your club decide who swims what relays for local or championship meets? What criteria are used, and who organizes relays at meets? How are decisions made on what swimmers get to swim and what ones don't?
One of our swimmers developed a computer program to come up with the fastest relay for each age group. Then it is just a matter of convincing people to swim them.
So that's why we call them the Oregon Relay Team. It does make it easier at your meets that everyone swims as "OREG" rather than their workout groups. If people were all associated as their workout groups, this is harder to accomplish.
In the Inland NW, we swim all our relays by workout group, with our workout groups battling it out for a season-long points championship at the end of the SCY season.
