Swimming
Competition
BISC strives to ensure that swim
meets are one of the most rewarding and fun parts about swimming.
We highly encourage our swimmers to participate in as many meets as
possible during each swim season. Swimmers compete in their
own age group and ability level.
In USA Swimming, there are two seasons: short course
and long course. The short course season is the
“winter” season and runs from late September to the
beginning of April. Meets are held in 25-yard pools and events are
recorded as Short Course Yards(SCY). The long course season is the
“summer” season and takes place from mid-April to the
beginning of August. Meets are typically held in 50-meter
pools(Olympic) and events are recorded in Long Course Meters
(LCM).
Each season culminates with the Local, Regional and
Zone Championships. In order to attend Championship meets, you must
qualify by meeting a set time standard. As a team, BISC is a member
of Pacific Northwest Swimming. The Classes of Swim Competition BISC
most frequently participates in are governed by PNS Rules &
Procedures. These procedures identify the eligibility,
classification, type, order and timing of all events swum at these
sanctioned meets. Through out both seasons BISC also offers
inter-squad and home meets to prepare swimmers for the more
rigorous sanctioned meets.
