San Diego-Imperial Swimming has released its short course 2010-2011 Winter Season Meet Schedule, which can be viewed on our Meets page.  One meet – the Sept 25 Freestyle Festival (North) – has not yet been bid upon, so that part of the schedule may change if no club bids to host that meet during the rebid process.

As a result of a pool scheduling conflict, CNSA is no longer able to host the June 12-13 BC All Ages Meet (South).  The Program Committee is making this meet available for bid by any SI Swimming South Division team.  Any team with an interest in hosting this meet should contact the SI Swimming Office (Judy Ortwein, 619-275-1292) or the SI Technical Chair (Dean Bailey, 619-850-2927) no later than 23 March to discuss arrangements.  If there are no interested hosts by 24 March, the meet may be moved to an alternate date/location.

The meet formats for both JOMAX meets were updated today to correct typographic errors.  For each JOMAX meet, a number of 9-10 age group events were changed to 10 & under events.  This change will allow 8 & under swimmers to enter 100s of each stroke, the 200 IM, and participate in relay events.

The SI Program Committee has announced the results of a second round of bidding for Summer 2010 season meets.  4 meets were available to be hosted, and qualified bids were received for 2 of the 4 meets. The long course May 28-30 AB All Ages meet was awarded to NCA, and the short course June 12-13 BC All Ages (South) meet was awarded to CNSA.  Because no bids were received for the April 23-25 ABC All Ages (North) meet, the committee voted to combine that meet with the April 30-May 2 ABC All Ages (South) meet and instead offer an AB All Ages meet to be hosted by CNSA.  The other meet up for bid, a July 10-11 Senior Meet, was dropped from the schedule due to lack of interest by prospective meet hosts.
