This is an IM ONLY home meet with Orange Hunt, meaning each swimmer will compete in a 100M individual event, swimming one length of each stroke in the following order: fly, back, breast, free. If your swimmer is not legal in all 4 strokes, or cannot complete a 100M race, please do not commit your swimmer. For those who still need to complete the IM to earn their gold caps, this is the last opportunity at a developmental meet! This is a fairly quick meet.

Adult IM

For any ADULTS who also wish to try their hand at 100M IM, this is your big chance! Orange Hunt will also have some adults participating in this event. If you are interested, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0B45A5A729ABFB6-50258876-adult . The adult IM event will take place upon the conclusion of the IM meet, will not have S&T judges, and will have teens timing the lanes. You may request your card with your time, but no other records will be kept. You have never seen the kids scream as loud at any swim meet as they do for the adults at this one.

Lolly

There will also be two varieties of lollipop race before the meet begins: shallow end race (as usual), and a 25M event for any juniors ready to take the next step of swimming across the entire length of the pool. If your junior is interested in participating in either of these lollipop events, please go to the LOLLIPOP EVENT PAGE to sign up.

Family Relays

At the end of all of the IMs, we will have our annual family relays, a free style and medley. This is a totally informal, fun event. No timers, just bragging rights. There is signup for this event https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0B45A5A729ABFB6-50258876-adult to guarantee a spot. If you forget to sign up, you can add your name to a list, but will be in a later heat and may be more chaotic as children create their own relay teams towards the end. We will fill and run as many heats as we need to get each family that would like to participate a lane.

Signup Guidelines:

• DEADLINE FOR COMMITTING SWIMMERS IS NOON SUNDAY, 7/13 for team. DEADLINE for Adult IMs and Family Relays is 6pm Sunday 7/13.
