• Dual meet varsity points (individual): 1st-6 pts, 2nd-4 pts, 3rd-3 pts, 4th-2 pts, 5th-1 pt
• Dual meet varsity points (relay): divided by two for dual meets
• Invites: Individual points are divided by 3, relay points are divided by 5
• True Team: Individual points divided by four; relay points divided by 8
• Athletes who swim a Section top 16 time or finish in the top half of all divers participating at Sections will earn a letter.

In addition to scoring the required number of points, swimmers must also:

• Be in good standing with the program for the full season
• Have zero drug, alcohol, and tobacco violations in accordance with MSHSL policies
