2010 Invitational Schedule (optional)
Invitational meets are optional meets held throughout the year and differ from dual meets in several ways. First of all, they include a number of different teams. Secondly, the swimmers get to choose which individual events they want to swim. Finally, they are used as fundraisers for the host team and charge a small entry fee per event entered (usually between $2.00 - $3.00 per event) While they are not required, we strongly encourage swimmers to participate. They can be beneficial in many ways: allowing swimmers to try new events, improve their times, and earn ribbons and trophies for themselves.
The Devon Crest meet is highly recommended for novices (summer only swimmers) as it gives them a chance to have their own meet without year-round swimmers. The Willowood meet is a more competitive meet, recommended for winter swimmers. Invitationals are a lot of fun and the experience gained can help swimmers feel more comfortable at the championship meets at the end of the season. If you have any questions about invitationals or would like suggestions on which meets would best suit you, please consult any of the coaches.
