Good afternoon.
The postseason is quickly approaching, so there are a few things I wanted to bring to your attention.
Please check the Swimming and Diving Tournament Central page daily. All regional and State Meet information will be posted in this site.
Regional Manual Now Online: The Regional Manual is now online in the Swimming and Diving Coaches & Administrators site on the IGHSAU website and can also be accessed by clicking here. Please be sure to read through everything. Many protocols and questions are addressed in the manual. There are also email addresses in the manual for you to send your diving sheets, along with the emails of the regional Hy-Tek operators in the event you need to make changes after the entry deadline.
Regional Entries Available in Bound Monday, October 27: Regional entries will be available in Bound on Monday. To access the entry form in Bound, log-in to your account and click the IGHSAU logo on the colored column on the far left side of your page. The entry deadline is 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 5. Please contact me if you have any issues accessing your entries.
Para-Swim Entries: Para-Swimming is available for students to take part in. The entry form is now on the website and can also be downloaded by clicking here. The student-athlete must compete in the regional meet to compete in the state meet. Events available are the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 backstroke and 100 breaststroke. Student-athletes may enter in two events. The deadline to enter a student is Wednesday, November 6 at 4:00 p.m. Medals will be awarded at regional meets while medals and a team trophy will be distributed at the State Meet.
All Times Must Be in Bound: Be sure your times are valid and correct in the Bound website. All times must be in Bound for verification. Any time not in Bound will be issued as No Times in the Hy-Tek meet files.
Divers: All divers must have an 11-dive score in Bound to compete in the regional meet.
Team Photos Needed: I would like to have team photos for the state meet parade of teams. If you could send those to me at [email protected]. I would appreciate it if I have this information by Wednesday, November 5.
State Meet Ticketing: The State Swimming prelims and finals will both have reserved seating for those sessions. State Diving will have general admission seating. More information will be coming your way as the State Meet gets closer.
Best wishes to everyone down the stretch.

Senior Associate Director/Swimming and Diving Administrator
