Eligibility:  This is a USMS sanctioned meet, therefore you must be a member of USMS to swim in the meet. If you are not currently registered, you may register ONLINE (preferred!) at www.usms.org.  If you are not currently registered for USMS, I recommend waiting till November 1 and you will enjoy USMS member benefits through the end of 2020. If you live between Columbia, Mo. and the western boarder of Ks., please register as MOVY for your club.
 
Rules:  The current USMS rules will govern the conduct of the meet.  Heats will be seeded, slowest to fastest.  Please enter a goal time for accurate seeding. Entries with no times will be seeded in the slowest heats. Men and women of all ages will swim mixed. You might swim next to someone older or younger, man or woman, of approximately the same speed. Results will be broken out by age group and gender (i.e. Men/Women, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 etc.). 
            NOTE: Your age for this meet is your age on 11/03/2019.
