USMS Disclaimer: The length of the competition course is in compliance and on file with USMS in accordance with articles 105.1.7 and 107.2.1, but as a bulkhead course, is subject to length confirmation. Eligibility of times for USMS Top 10 and Records will be contingent on verification of bulkhead placement.  We take this matter seriously, and make sure to measure before and after each session.  There have been National Records set at previous EEX Masters Meets, so we are accustomed to the protocol and follow it exactly.

Eligibility: This meet is open to all 2017 USMS-Registered Athletes  A swimmer’s age for this meet will be determined by his/her age as of November 11, 2017.  A copy of your current USMS registration card must accompany swimmers’ entry forms to corroborate membership.  This will be done automatically for those entering online.

USMS: The 2017 USMS Swimming Rules and USMS Handbook will apply to and govern this competition. If you have lost or misplaced your USMS card, simply log on to www.usms.org/reg for an e-mailed copy of your card.
