RELAY SELECTION AND PAYMENT

Relays are included in some meet line-ups and provide a source of excitement for the team.  Many times athletes perform better on a relay than in an individual event.  Relay scores are double the point value of individual events in the meet.  All swimmers must check with the coaching staff at the meet to find out if they are scheduled to compete for HAC on a relay.

The building of a relay team is the sole responsibility of the coaching staff.  There are many variables to be considered including the swimmer’s fastest time, how well the swimmer has performed at the particular meet in question, how much rest the swimmer has gotten since his/her previous event, the swimmer’s ability to perform under pressure and the general attitude and practice attendance of the swimmer.  With many factors to consider, it is difficult to predict which four swimmers will perform the best in tan upcoming event.  Support of the coaching staff in making relay selections is appreciated.

The meet entry fee for a relay tam is equally divided among the four swimmers selected for the relay.  If any relay swimmer would choose to leave the meet early, thereby prohibiting the relay team from competing, that swimmer will be billed for the entire entry fee for the relay.
