If the qualifying time was achieved after September 1, then the team owns the time and another swimmer may be used. I am a bit confused when you say "a new swimmer." Hopefully, you mean a new member to your relay team not a new member to your team.
 
Thanks for the question.

An inter-association meet is a meet between YMCA teams, normally a dual meet, a YMCA initational meet or a YMCA championship meet.

Hello, my daughter may qualify for 2010 LC Nationals, and i just had a question and i was wondering if you could clarify:
 
In the handbook from 2010 SC Nationals, it states that a qualifying time my come from an inter-association meet. What qualifies as an inter-association meet? 
 
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

For National Events the time must be achieved during the current season
Which is September 1st -April 30th.
Your summer league is it all YMCA's swimming YMCA's which is closed competition or is it open competitions where other teams particapate(That are not Y teams.?

In the handbook, it mentions that a relay during the season belongs to the team. What are the limitations on that relay? Do the restrictions that apply to individuals swimmers participating at National also pertain to swimmers that achieve qualifying relay times (ie. age 12-21, never swam in college) Example: If a college student swims with the team during the summer and participates in a relay, can that relay time be used at Nationals with different swimmers? ]]> Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:06:27 +0000 http://www.ymcaswimminganddiving.org/NATSforum/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1437&PID=2497#2497 Eligibility : Eligibility - over 21 - unique case http://www.ymcaswimminganddiving.org/NATSforum/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1427&PID=2467#2467 Author: Glenda Pae

These rules not only apply for YMCA National events but they also apply for any Closed YMCA Sanction Championship Meet. Any and all Championship Meets must be Sanctioned so therefore this same rule applies.
I would recommend since you are 31 years of age that you join and swim for the Master Program..Age requirement for there meets is 19 - 100yrs.
We are hosting the YMCA Masters Championship in Ft. Lauderdale April 14th-18th, 2010. Join your local YMCA and represent them in the Master Program.

Hi,
 
I swim with a YMCA team in NJ.  I am a full member of my YMCA but am currently 31.  Our team is attending the TYR Capital Classic meet in NC. in December. This is a "closed Y meet"  Unfortunately, I was just informed that I would not be allowed to participate in this meet as I am over 21. 
 
I see that the rules state this is true for Nationals but I do not see it listed anywhere as a rule for a Championship meet.  Is this just an "informal rule" and if not - is this the standing rule for any closed "YMCA" meet?
 
It was a little frustrating as I had to cancel flights and reservations after initially being told that I would be allowed to swim.
 
Thanks For your input.

I am not with Sunbury, but I really don't grasp how an age up rule that benefits some swimmers, while it disparages others and confuses most has anything to do with developing age group programs.  I guess USA teams don't have age group programs?  I do appreciate the fact that this forum has actually developed into one and thank you and the other moderators for the responses and continuing dialogue.  ]]> Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:48:36 +0000 http://www.ymcaswimminganddiving.org/NATSforum/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=611&PID=2356#2356 Eligibility : Eliigibility http://www.ymcaswimminganddiving.org/NATSforum/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87&PID=2285#2285 Author: Ed Miller

Glenda Pae is really a better person to answer this one, but let me take a stab at it.  Practice schedules and how many practices are required for participation in meets are at the discretion of the local YMCA team.  There are no national requirements.  The only national requirements are for participation in the YMCA national championship meets and for such participation, the swimmer must have swum in three YMCA closed competitions and one YMCA sanctioned championship meet (e.g., a state, cluster or regional meet).

I don't understand your question about coaches.  If you are asking whether a swimmer could practice with another team and have that practice qualify for the YMCA team's practice requirements, that is up to the local YMCA team.  However, a swimmer may not represent two teams, so a swimmer couldn't swim for a YMCA team and a separate, different USA-S team at the same time.  (Many YMCA teams are also USA-S teams, so that is not a problem for them; also high school swimming is not considered "dual representation" from a YMCA perspective.)

For reference materials, you can go to the YMCA website (www.ymcaswimminganddiving.org) and read the Rules That Govern YMCA Competitive Sports, the YMCA Technical Assistance Paper and the YMCA Swimming Black Book.  You can also read the Meet Handbook for one of the National Championship Meets, as they will answer a lot of questions that may come up in your mind.
