FAQs about Participating at Zones...
- If a swimmer participates at sectionals can they still attend the zone championship meet?
YES. A swimmer may attend zones if they entered an individual event at a Sectional Championship or other meet with time standards as fast or faster.
- If a swimmer never entered an individual qualifying event at a Sectionals but currently has a time that would be considered a Sectional Championship time can they go to zones?
YES. Having a Sectional time does not preclude you from attending zones.
- If a swimmer went to a Sectionals as a relay only swimmer and only swam relays at a Sectionals, can they go to zones?
YES.
- If a swimmer has a National time in any event are they allowed to go to zones?
NO. Here is the exact wording passed by the WZ House of Delegates last fall:
Section V – Western Zone Swimming Championship
