LONG COURSE SEASON We've gotten several questions from newer swim families about "What is meant by Long Course swimming"? The answer is that Long Course for ANSC means the season of swim meets beginning in April and running to potentially early August, depending on qualification for higher level meets (e.g., Junior Olympics, Sectionals, Zones). These meets are generally held in 50 meter pools, meaning a fewer number of turns for the swimmers. These meets are also, for ANSC purposes, generally held outdoors with the exception of a few venues (Univ. Pitt, Chartiers Valley, Cleveland State). Swimming outdoors holds it's own set of challenges -- meaning that swimmers and parents should be prepared for a wide range of potential weather conditions ranging from snow, sleet, rain, wind, and days with enough sunshine to result in severe sunburn! There are also some meets which ANSC may compete in during Long Course season which are held in either 25 yard or 25 meter facilities. |
