2022 Summer Meet Calendar - LONG COURSE METERS
Please note that these meets are all Long Course Meters meets unless noted otherwise. In the summer season, we compete in long course meter pools, which are a little more than twice the length of our training pools at the Sachem high schools. Please speak with your group coaches at practice if you have any questions about this transition to the long course season.
Please be advised that meet attendance is highly encouraged. Long Course season will fly by, so be sure you’ve earned your cut times early on in the season!
If you are declared to swim in a meet and do not include the dates that you cannot participate, you will be entered in all available sessions of the meet.
