I don't understand something, or actually a few things.
After getting my latest Swimmer magazine I saw all these names of swimmers that have done some great things. (congrats)
What is the difference between all-stars & all-americans?
Also what is the difference between SCM, SCY, LCM & what does it all mean?
I feel kinda dense for not knowing these things though. :confused:

No, that is not true. In most meets, you could swim only the relays if you so desired. Some meets might require you to pay the individual entry fee, depending on how they set up their meet fees.
It's really up to the individual meet director. You'd just have to look at various meet entry forms to get an idea of how they work. Some meets charge a flat fee that includes everything (individual and relay events). Other meets charge a base fee, plus a fee for every event swum.
