Important high school swimmer info
The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) serves as the sole governing body for interscholastic athletic activities in Connecticut. Prior to the start of the season, you, your swimmer, and your coach should have a discussion about their rules regarding Club participation during High School swim season. CIAC rules states: Participation in “Outside” Meets – Swimmers of member schools may participate as “unattached” individuals (not representing the school or outside team), in a maximum of four (4) "outside" meets per season (AAU, U.S., Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, etc.). Choice of such outside meets to be made by swimmers with approval of the swimmer’s school administration. Present weekly swimming limitations will be maintained, one of which may be one of the four allowable “outside” meets.
