Hi Frog Families 🐸

Signups for Time Trials and all meets are now open! 

As we head into the season, we wanted to share a quick guide to how meet sign ups work, how swimmers qualify for A Meets, and why timely RSVPs are so important for our coaches and team.

Please reach out if you have any questions or need assistance! 

Understanding the Swim Week

Each swimmer may compete in a maximum of 3 individual events per swim week.
Swimmers ages 11 & Over may swim the IM as a 4th event.

The swim week runs: Saturday A Meet → Wednesday B Meets

This means swimmers cannot swim the same individual event twice in the same week.

How to Sign Up for Meets

Step 1: Log In to your account on the Flower Valley SwimTopia site

Step 2: Go to Meets & Events page to RSVP for upcoming meets.

Time Trials & B Meets

For Time Trials and Wednesday B Meets, parents should:

• Indicate whether their swimmer will attend
• Select up to 3 events (+IM for 11+)

Important Notes

Coach Danny reviews all entries and may make adjustments based on:

• Swimmer development
• Weekly event limits and duplication rules (same event cannot be swum twice in one week)

Deadline

All B Meet entries must be submitted by Mondays at 11:59 PM

A Meets

For Saturday A Meets, parents only need to mark swimmers as Available or Unavailable

Parents do not select events for A Meets.

How Swimmers Qualify for A Meets

A Meet lineups are determined using swimmer times and team needs.

In general, swimmers qualify based on the fastest legal times in their age group:

• Top 6 swimmers in Freestyle
• Top 3 swimmers in each of the other individual strokes

Relay lineups are selected separately by the coaching staff.

Because swimmer times improve throughout the season, A Meet lineups may change from week to week.

Why Availability Matters

Timely RSVPs are extremely important.

Knowing who is available helps coaches:

• Finalize lineups earlier
• Avoid last-minute lineup changes
• Ensure every lane is filled

Please RSVP to all meets on the schedule regardless of your child’s competition level.
