End of Season Info

I’ve gotten a few questions on what happens at the end of the season, especially with regards to Sectionals and States, and associated practices. I’ve updated the schedule to the best of my knowledge on the website http://www.hollistonhaba.com/pdf_files/Sports/Swimming/Swim_Team_Calendar.pdf - always subject to change ;-)

First, the regular season concludes officially at the completion of the Dual County League (DCL) championship meets, which concludes on February 7th.

There are 4 meets remaining, 2 this week (Tues. 1/20 and Weds 1/21), one next week (Friday 1/30), and the final Dual Meet Monday February 2nd.

The DCL Championships are split in to 4 meets, 2 diving events, and 2 swimming events. Boys Diving only is Weds, 2/4 , while Girls Diving only is 2/5, both at CC at 3:30. Boys Swimming DCL Championship is Friday, 2/6 at 5PM, and Girls is Saturday 2/7 at 10:00 AM, both at the Atkinson pool in Sudbury.

Other than the 500 Free, there are no qualifying standards for the DCL http://www.hollistonhaba.com/pdf_files/Sports/Swimming/08-09_qualifying_standards.pdf That means that Brian and Dom will fill the rosters, but I would guess that most if not all kids will participate in these events.

So, in short, the last day of the season for all kids not participating in Sectionals or States will be Saturday, Feb 7th.

For those kids moving on to sectionals or states http://www.hollistonhaba.com/Pages/Sports/Swimming/post-season-qualifiers.html practice will continue after that. Brian and Dom will work practice times. I would think that for kids not competing in sectionals or states, practice would not be required. But that would be up to Brian and Dom.
