Pentathlon - June 17th
May 31st
Hi Waves!!
Our next Invitational opportunity is the Pentathlon – on Sunday, June 17 at Klein Collins High School (a fun way to spend Father’s Day!!). 10 & Unders compete in the morning, 11 & Up compete in the afternoon. Sign up deadline is Wed June 6, 8:00 pm at Forestgate Pool.
This event is unlike any of the other meets – each swimmer must swim 5 events (Fly, Back, Breast, Free and IM).
In order to participate in the Pentathlon, swimmers must meet a qualifying time which is a composite of all 5 event times. Please see the composite qualifying times listed below:
QUALIFYING TIMES (in YARDS): Composite of Fly, Back, Breast, Free & Individual Medley
8 & U Boys 5:50.00 8 & U Girls 5:50.00
9 – 10 Boys 4:20.00 9 – 10 Girls 4:20.00
11 – 12 Boys 4:25.00 11 – 12 Girls 4:25.00
13 – 14 Boys 4:00.00 13 – 14 Girls 4:10.00
15 – 18 Boys 3:35.00 15 – 18 Girls 3:40.00
If your swimmer meets the qualifying time, please consider signing up for this meet! You can sign up
In the Invitational binder at the pool – a $20 check to The Woodlands Township must accompany your entry.
The Deadline to sign up for this meet is Wed. June 6 at 8pm.
How do I know my swimmer's composite time?
All previous meet results are posted on the website. Look up your swimmer's best times in each of the 5 events (not including Time Trial times) and add them up!
Can I use Time Trial times?
No, only official meet times can be used. The only exception is 8 & U and 9 & 10 year olds may use time trial times for the Individual Medley only if they do not have a qualified time that was swum in an official meet.
Clear as mud? Please see Coach Kyle, Cindy or Kristine if you have any questions.
GO WAVES!!!
