Season 6 is shaping up to be our most exciting season ever!
General Season Qualifier information:
- Athletes may participate in, and compete at, any Season Qualifiers they choose, as many times as they would like.
- All Speed and Endurance points earned at Qualifiers will count towards the athlete’s season total Speed and Endurance points – that total will be used to determine the run order for both FINA Sectionals as well as FINA Finals. (Run order and seeding for Finals will also include placement at FINA Sectionals – more details to follow)
- All athletes are expected to abide by the FINA Athlete Code of Conduct (found HERE).
