Championship Meets / Time Standard Meets
There are meets that a swimmer must achieve a minimum time in an event to participate in the meet. If
and when your child qualifies for one of these meets, it is important that you give them the opportunity
to participate. Midwest Regionals, State, Zones, KMSC Pro-AM, and Nationals are examples of
Championship / Time Standard Meets. These meets are a reward for significant hard work. They are
exciting because of location and level of competition. Participation helps a swimmer develop an identity
as a high-level athlete (self-perception is very important), helps a swimmer develop future
goals and aspirations and especially in team travel events, helps a swimmer develop
relationships and bonds with other high achieving athletes (this tends to be very important too).
