Anyone that sets an Unofficial, Non-conforming,  Unsanctioned World Record along the way will receive an Official Proclamation from the Mayor of Warrenton VA, the Honorable George B Fitch (co-founder of the Jamaican Bobsled Team 1988 Olympics). All records will be saved and listed on our site. Register early for your chance to be part of swimming history. As time goes on records will be tougher to break. At the conclusion of the event a special recognition award will be given to the top ten swimmers in each individual event and top six relays. Example: if Sally swims the fastest time to date in her age group she will get a proclamation. If Mary swims faster the next day she will get one too.

Men and women age groups of five-year increments: 18-24, 25-29, 30-34,…100+. Your age on Oct 15, 2013 will determine your age group. A swimmer may compete in no more than five individual events per day.

Individual splits may be also entered as individual event times for swimmers that are still when previous swimmer touches. Why? We want to promote team activity. Timer must certify that swimmer is still for split.

Relay events will be contested as mixed 3 person teams (2 men, 1 woman or 1 man 2 women). You may swim with people from other USMS teams or unattached members. The total ages of your three swimmers determines the team age group example: 54- 74, 75- 89, 90- 104, 105- 119, 120- 134, 135- 149……. Age will be determined by your age on August 29, 2013. You may swim in as many relays as you wish, even relays of the same event but different people. 

All results must be submitted by 11:59PM PST on September 15, 2014. Rules:Result Submissions: Result Submissions: Send your results in as you swim to have the chance to be an unofficial, nonconforming, and unrecognized record holder. You may swim each event as many times as you want. Keep improving. Event results are sent in electronically via e-mail.

The 2013 and 2014 USMS Rules govern these events, including USMS Rule 102.12.1 regarding swimwear. 2013 Rules will govern swims completed in 2013, and 2014 Rules will govern swims completed in 2014. Drafting, flotation, and propulsive devices (pull buoys, fins, paddles, snorkels, wet suits, etc.) are not permitted. No more than two swimmers may share a lane. If a lane is shared, each swimmer must stay on his or her side of the lane during the entire race (i.e. no circle swimming). An adult acting as a starter/head timer/referee shall be present at all times during the swim. Each swimmer must have a verifier on deck to count laps and record. The timing of the event may be done with a stopwatch or electronic timing device. One person may serve as a counter for no more than two swimmers per heat.
