UPDATE 01.08.24: USA Swimming has finally restored a system of reporting that is helpful for tracking IMR and IMX PowerPoint Scores. Unfortunately, this does not provide scoring for all athletes and only provides the score for those who are “IMR.” (IMR = have completed your age group’s required events)
Please use the following reports to view your current score. If you have a score of 1,800 power points or greater than you qualified! If you are qualified then please email [email protected] to confirm or decline your participation in this meet!
Here are some important things to consider when determining your athletes needs to qualify:
1 - If your swimmer qualified last year, regardless of their age, they also qualify this year automatically.
2 - If your swimmer has a powerpoint score of 1,800 points or more when all of their IMX Events are combined together, then they qualify. To view the USA Swimming IMR reports, click here.
3 - If your swimmer does not appear on the IMR Reports then they did not complete their age groups required events during the eligible seasons. To calculate your point score so far and determine the missing events to complete IMR, please use the directions listed at the end of this email!
4 - Only powerpoint totals by “Season” can be added together. Ex: you cannot combine a Powerpoint score for a 100 Long Course Meter Swim with a Short Course Yards event to make a score. The events must all come from the current (23-24) SCY Season, the previous (22-230 SCY Season, or the previous 23 LCM Season
*Reminder*: All athletes wishing to qualify for IMX will need to have a combined score of 1,800 points in the following events ONLY:
10 & Under’s
200 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 100 fly, 200 IM
11-12’s
500 free (400 free for long course), 100 back, 100 breast, 100 fly, 200 IM
13-18’s (Our region only does 13-14 age group)
500 free (400 free for long course), 200 back, 200 breast, 200 fly, 200 IM, 400 IM
To calculate your swimmers IMX score and identify any weaknesses, please use the following link and follow these directions:
Type in your swimmers First and Last name and select “show only fastest times by event.”
Next, select the current SCY season or the previous SCY OR LCM Season. You cannot add time/power points between seasons or LCM/SCY interchangeably. They must all be done in ONE of these seasons mentioned.
After searching under these parameters, each event will be associated with a “power points” score. It is listed in the “Points” column. Write down the points scored only for the events in your swimmers IMX Age Group (listed above).
If your swimmers score is ABOVE 1800 points after being added, they qualify for this championship meet.

SSC Meet Entry Protocols Explained
Please remember that you can and should insert notes when submitting your entries through your accounts on SachemSwimClub.com. When doing so, please indicate which days/sessions you are available for. Leaving no notes will result in automatic enrollment in every session for up to 3 events each session per individual. Please also indicate whether your swimmer has requested to swim less than the standard 3 events or if they have any specific goals or plans for said meet. If you are not managing that correctly, you may be paying for additional entries and leaving coaches wondering if you’re showing up to a specific session or not! Parents are responsible to SSC for payment for all entries on away meets. These are charged to your account and due the 1st of the month after the meet.
If you are having trouble interpreting the SSC Meet Calendar, please send [email protected] an email requesting a phone call to review and manage your entries. You can also send this information via email if you experience any trouble with your account.
When doing entries, please be reminded of your swimmers IMX (14&Unders as of January 2024) and event completion requirements for training group move up consideration. You can review some of the Training Group Standards on our website!
