LEAGUE FINALS INFO & DEADLINE….5 pm MONDAY!
Any swimmer who has competed in AT LEAST TWO (2) GFSL dual meets is eligible to compete at Finals. You NEED to declare your swimmer's availability HERE.
Declaring "AVAILABLE" does not guarantee your swimmer will be entered into the meet but declaring "UNAVAILABLE" guarantees they will not even have the chance to be considered. DO NOT assume that your child will not qualify to swim in Finals. Please declare “AVAILABLE” if you are able to attend this meet.
Entry limits will dictate how many swimmers make our finals roster. Each team is permitted to enter 3 swimmers per individual event and 2 teams for each relay. Entry preference will be given to top times and legal strokes. Each swimmer can swim a maximum of 3 individual events, 1 medley relay and 1 freestyle relay. We are also allowed to have alternates!
Peace Haven Finals Entries will be official and released on Thursday morning.
WHAT: The GFSL Finals is our championship meet and includes all 21 teams in the league. The meet has two sessions: one in the morning (10&U) and one in the afternoon (11&O). Teams will score points based on Championship scoring rules.
WHERE: The Greensboro Aquatic Center (1921 W. Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27403). This is a beautiful indoor facility with fabulous spectator seating. The pool is grounded so there will be no weather delays or cancellations. There is no entry fee and parking is $5. The parking is plentiful.
