January 31 - February 2, 2014
University of Maryland
College Park, MD

The qualifying period for this event is September 1, 2012 through the entry deadline.

Entry Deadline: All entries must be received no later than Tuesday, January 21, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

All athletes that are 9-14 years on the first day of the meet are eligible for the meet if they have achieved the minimum qualifying score in any age during the qualifying period.

This meet will follow IMX Challenge program guidelines.

The qualifying standard will be a minimum IMX Challenge score of 1500 points for all ages and genders.
Qualifying standards are the same for SCY and LCM.

In anticipation of the meet growing to around 1,000 athletes, the meet will be divided into three sessions on Saturday and Sunday to conform with the USA Swimming 4 hour rule.

The 13-14 500 free has been moved up to the first event on Friday and the 11-12 500 free will be swum after the 13-14 event so the 13-14 swimmers can get to bed in preparation for an early morning session the next day. Start time on Friday has also been move up one hour to 2:00 p.m. 11-12s will swim 2nd session and 9-10’s will swim 3rd session on Saturday and Sunday.

If the girls numbers are bigger than the boys numbers by a substantial amount, the meet director may elect to move a few heats of the girls to the boys course so we can finish up the sessions in a timely manner.

Due to the size and popularity of the North-East meet, only swimmers ages 9-14 may participate. A 15-16 age group is not offered as there simply is not enough pool time to do so.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All events MUST come from 1) the current SCY season, 2) the past LC season or 3) last SCY season...you may not combine events from last year and this year to get a qualifying score. 1,500 points is still the qualifying score needed.
