Entry Procedures
Use official entry form or photocopy of the entire form. Read all instructions and fill out form completely. Entries with "pending" in place of a registration number on the entry form will be rejected. A legible copy of each swimmer's USMS registration card or International Travel Permit (foreign entries) must accompany entry form. Failure to include a USMS card copy or International Travel permit may result in the swimmer being charged a fee before being allowed to compete. A swimmer changing club affiliation prior to Nationals must send either a USMS registration card or a letter from local registrar with new club affiliation and effective date.

National Qualifying Times
Competitors may enter and swim in a maximum of three (3) individual events without meeting the National Qualifying Time (NQT) established for those events. Competitors may enter up to three additional events in which they have swum a time equal to or better than the NQT in the past two years. The NQTs for all events are listed above. Designate the events in which NQTs have been met with a "T" in column designated as such. No NQTs for swimmers age 90 and over.

Entry Times
All events must be entered with a time. "NT" entries will be rejected. Limit three (3) individual events per day.

1000/1650 Yard Freestyle
A swimmer may enter either the 1000 or 1650 freestyle, but not both.
