IM Xtreme (IMX) is a program that allows USA Swimming members to track their times (or coaches to track their team's times) against swimmers all across the nation! Just by swimming a specific program of events, you can see where you rank against your teammates, your region and yes, even across the USA!
Not ready for IMX? Try IMR! IM Ready is the little brother of IM Xtreme, tailored toward our younger swimmers. Does 200 yards seem a little much? Then start getting "IM Ready" by swimming shorter distances, and keeping track of your improvements.
IM Ready (IMR)
To Get "IM Ready", swimmers compete in a series of 5 events at shorter distances.
- 10 and under: 100 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly and 100 IM
- 11 and 12 year olds: 200 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly and 100 IM
- 13 - 18 years: 200 Free, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Fly and 200 IM
*** you do not need to complete the IM Ready program to participate in the IM Xtreme. It is simply a stepping stone.
Ready to move forward? The next step is IM Xtreme (IMX). The IMX ranking includes a series of 5 or 6 events at longer distances. Once you have completed the IMX program, you can find out where your IMX score ranks nationally within your zone, with your LSC rank and on your club.
