Virtual Meets
- What is a virtual meet?
-
It is a meet hosted by a club that is done in multiple pools across the country, not just one pool.
-
The meet can take place for just one day or one week. CCS recommends at least three days given pool constraints.
-
Swimmers can swim their events alone and use the SwimPhone stopwatch, which sends the results for the completed race to the meet results, with their club as an intersquad meet using traditional stopwatches then uploading the MM file, or with their club as an intersquad meet using touchpads and then uploading a MM file.
