Congratulations to all the swimmers who
have already finished their Long Course IMX
Challenge in just two meets! Swim
those longer events at Mt. Lebanon and join
these challengers!
As soon as your swimmer
completes their events, please send an email
to
ANSCNews@yahoo.com with their
name, their practice group and their T-shirt
size (adult S, M, L or XL). Their IMX
T-shirt and IMX swim cap will be given to
their practice group coach for distribution
and recognition.
USA
Swimming is very pleased to announce an
exciting new program … the I.M. Xtreme
Challenge. The IMX Challenge is a
motivational program whereby swimmers will
be scored and ranked nationally on their
performance in a combination of five or six
events. The purpose of the program is to
promote versatility in age group swimming
while advocating greater participation and
development across a range of events that
are integral to long term success in
swimming.
Program Description
Swimmers will participate in a designated
combination of five or six events and, based
on the power points scored for each of those
swims, earn a combined score that will be
called the IMX Score. These combined scores
will be ranked by single ages with rankings
and recognition available on the USA
Swimming website.
Age
Groups and Events
The following single age groups and event
combinations will be tabulated and scored
for both men and women:
| |
10 & Under: |
200 IM, 200 Free, 100 Back, 100
Breast, 100 Fly |
| |
11-12-year olds: |
200 IM, 400/500 Free, 100 Back, 100

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 an IMX
swim cap and t-shirt and their name will be
listed here.
