New this year!
- USA Swimming Observed Meet Sign-Up
The 2025 All-City Championship Swim Meet has been approved as a USA Swimming Observed meet. What does this mean? USA Swimming members can elect, by completing a registration form and administrative payment, to have their swims “observed” under USA Swimming rules in addition to All-City rules. This means that if their swim is successful under USA Swimming rules, the times they achieve at All-City will be entered into the USA Swimming SWIMS database. Essentially, the swimmer would be judged under All-City rules for the purposes of this meet and would be separately judged under USA Swimming rules to make sure their time is legal for USA Swimming as well. The process to request observation can be found here: https://7xscoring.com/all-city/observation/. If interested, families can directly complete the registration form if they would like to register their swimmers. Athletes who choose observation will be seeded and entered as normal. All processes will occur behind the scenes.
Go Sharks!
Coach Andrew
