On the entry form, please make sure to put both the meet event
number
and name, i.e., Event #11, 10 & U girls 50 free,
and your swimmer's best time in that event.
This will sometimes mean putting in a Short Course yards time for a
Long Course meters event of the same distance. That is OK if the
meet invitation indicates thus (i.e., entering with a 50yd time for
a 50M event you are entering; just put a "Y" after the time). The
invitation might say something like, "Entry times must be submitted
in the course at which the best time was achieved – short course
yards (Y), short course meters (S), or long course meters (L),"
although we rarely, if ever, swim short course meter pools.
