2010 Short Course
Zone Age Group Championship
April 1-3, 2010
Webster, NY
Introduction to
the Short Course Zone Team: This
year’s Eastern Zone Age Group Championship meet will be held
at Webster Aquatic Center, Webster NY, a
beautiful aquatic facility near Rochester, NY where 2009 SC Zone
Championship was held. Please note for 2010 SC Zones, CT Zone
team will take up to 3 qualifiers per event for 10/U and 11/12 age
groups.
What is Zone
Championship?
Zones are the
highest level Age Group meet in the country for age group swimmers.
Connecticut participates in the Eastern Zones against 11 others
LSC's from northern Virginia to
Maine.
How do I make into
the CT Zone Team?
Swimmers achieving
the top 2 times (for 10/U and 11/12, top 3 times) from September
1st through the Age Group Championship in each event of each age
group are qualified for zones. To be eligible, swimmer must
achieve at least AA time specified in 2009-2012 National Age Group
Motivational Standard for that
event. These times must be from a sanctioned USA meet. For
other eligibilities or more information on Zone Championship,
please check Zone Team
page.
What happens if
the top swimmers decide not to go?
We continue going
down the list of top swimmers until we get the fastest 2 swimmers
(again, 3 for 10/U and 11/12) who are eligible and want to swim in
the Zone meet. Please understand some swimmers age up before the
Zone meet and some swimmers have schedule conflicts. For that
reason, we ask all interested to check the calendar ahead of time,
and swimmers in the TOP 10 to check in at the zone table during Age
Group Championship. There is no pre-application
required.
What if you are
not attending CT Age Group Championship, but still want to go to
the Zone Championship?
If you satisfy the
qualification and eligibility requirements, you can still sign up
for the CT zone team. Please arrange with coordinator ahead of the
time, so all required forms are turned in prior to the
deadline.
How do I get to
Zone Championship and where do I stay?

Course Zone we all travel to and from the meet as a team. This
year, we will travel by bus to Rochester leaving on leaving on
March 31 and returning on April 4. The zone team will have 4
coaches 2 zone team coordinators and 8 to 10 parent chaperones. We
