Time Trials is a simulation of an actual meet. It allows swimmers to get a feel for how a meet is run and for coaches to get swimmers' seed times for the first actual meet.
Divisionals 101
There are four divisions within the Northwest Swim Circuit. The Divisional Meet at the end of the year consists of the three teams in the division. To be eligible to participate in the Divisional meet, a swimmer must have swum in two previous meets during the season. They must also have an "official" time in the event they sign up for. Points are awarded through 8th place for both individual events and relays.
