2011-2012 USA Meets

The Ridley Area YMCA (RAYS-MA) competes in both a YMCA Swim League and as a USA Swimming Team. The YMCA Swim League is called the Penn-Del Swim League and we operate USA Swimming as a separate function of our team. Anyone can register for USA Swimming at anytime during the season. If you would like to join USA Swimming please contact Coach Erik at anytime. This is another opportunity for your child to participate in other meets and compete in different events/strokes in various pools around the Tri-State Area.

2011-2012 Scholastic All American Applications On May 25th
Each year, USA Swimming recognizes its members who excel both in the classroom and in the pool. The Scholastic All-America Team is made up of high school student-athletes who have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher and who have achieved the required time standard in a single event.

To be eligible for this recognition, swimmers must have completed 10th, 11th or 12th grade and must be a USA Swimming member athlete. Eligible times must be swum between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The application must be completed by August 15.

The application for the 2011-2012 year will be available online on May 25th, 2012. The only method for application will be the online application on the USA Swimming website. Applicants will be required to have a USA Swimming account. Qualifying times for the applicant will be validated through the Times on the USA Swimming website. The applicant will be required to upload a copy of his or her high school transcript for the current academic year. All grades for both semesters (2011-2012) must be on the transcript.

Swimmers who have a 3.5 GPA and are applying as a Disability swimmer or Open Water swimmer will be required to upload results from the meet in which they participated. The eligible meets for Disability swimmers are the following: World Deaf Championships, August 6-13, Coimbra, Portugal; Global Games, September 24-October 4, 2011, Liguria, Italy; US Paralympic Trials, June 14-16, 2012, Bismarck, North Dakota.

Virtual Club Championships
   USA Swimming - RAYS Team Score
   LSC RANK: 24 - as of 2-7-12
   USA RANK: 494 - as of 2-7-12

HOW ARE SCORES TABULATED?
The Virtual Club Championships will be tabulated annually for both the short course and long course seasons. Both Short Course Yard (SCY) and Long Course Meter (LCM) rankings will be tabulated using results achieved between September 1 and August 31.

All registered USA Swimming clubs will be scored automatically. The USA Swimming Times DataBase will be used in combination with the Hy-Tek Single-Year Age Group Power Point system. The program scores single age groups from 11-16 years old and has a combined 17-18 age group. After all eligible swims have been scored using the power point system, a team score for each registered USA Swimming club will be calculated. The tabulation will occur once every evening.

USA Swimming - RAYS IMX Scores

ARE YOU IMXTREME?
What is IMXtreme, you ask?
IMXtreme is a program that allows USA Swimming members to track their times (or coaches to track their team's times) against swimmers all across the nation! Just by swimming a specific program of events, you can see where you rank against your teammates, your region and yes, even across the USA! Interested? We thought so.





The IMX ranking includes a series of five or six events at longer distances. Once you've completed the IMX program, you can find out where your IMX score ranks nationally, within your zone, within your LSC rank and on your club.

9 & Under; 10-year olds: 200 Free, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Fly, 200 IM

11-year olds; 12-year olds: 400 Free (LC) or 500 Free (SC), 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Fly, 200 IM

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, & 18-year olds: 400 Free (LC) or 500 Free (SC), 200 Back, 200 Breast, 200 Fly, 200 IM, 400 IM

HOW DO I SCORE POINTS?
Rankings in the program are based on power points, a system developed by USA Swimming and Hy-Tek. See the Power Points page for more information and to use the Power Point Calculator.

NOT QUITE XTREME? GET IMXREADY
STEP ONE-GET IM READY
IM Ready is the little brother of IMXtreme, tailored toward our younger swimmers. Does 200 yards seem a little much? Then start getting "IMReady" by swimming shorter distances, and keeping track of your improvements. Compete against your teammates in this program that also lets you see yourself get faster! After all, isn't that what it's all about? Learn More.





IM READY (IMR)
The first step in the IMX Challenge is IM Ready (or IMR). To get "IM Ready," swimmers compete in a series of five events at shorter distances. Below, we've listed the line-up by age groups.

9 & Under; 10-year olds: 100 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly, 100 IM (SC) or 200 IM (LC)

11-year olds; 12-year olds: 200 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly, 100 IM (SC) or 200 IM (LC)

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, & 18-year olds: 200 Free, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Fly, 200 IM

Once you've swum each event at least once at an official meet, you can log-in to your USA Swimming Account, and find out where you rank against all the other swimmers on your club team.

Note About IMX & IMR Scores
An IMX or IM Ready score is only established after a swimmer has swum all of the events required for their age group in a sanctioned meet since the start of the current season; both short and long course seasons start September 1 and end August 31 for IMX/IMR purposes.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Participation in the IMR and IMX is easy. USA Swimming automatically scores and calculates results for all athlete members! Swimmers only need to sign up for a My USA Swimming Account, then compete in each required event, at a sanctioned meet, at least once in a season.

Additionally, a swimmer must complete all of the events in the same course (SCY or LCM) to have a score in that particular course.
