Congratulations!
Congratulations IMX Participants! The Long Course Season is the hardest to complete because of the endurance and strength necessary to swim the longer meter races. Hard, consistent training during the summer is what makes these swimmers strong enough to be IMX Challengers!
IMX
How to Participate
Coach Wenzel will be working with each swimmer in Development 1, Competitive 1, Competitive 2 and the Senior Group to make sure that those swimmers are entered in the IMX events throughout the season. Age Group coaches will be working with each swimmer to make sure that they move toward the goal of being able to swim all of the IMX events for their age group with a legal stroke.

Swimmers only need to compete in the IMX combination of events for their age group and they will be part of the program. As ANSC swimmers complete all of the IMX events, they will receive recognition on the website and an IMX swim cap, IMX t-shirt or IMX cinch sack while supplies last.
USA Swimming Website
