Relay Carnival I understand. (I am the rare beast who hates Relay Carnivals, but that's my issue.)


Yes, IM is available at every B meet but it’s usually last and very late. By the last week of the season everyone has had their fill of B meets so IM carnival is a nice change of pace where swimmers can see where they stand in IM going into Divisionals. It’s also generally much shorter than a B meet.

For us, it's a fun way for all the neighborhood pools to come together. A general B meet invitational would be too long, but we can make an IM invitational work.

B Meet leagues do different things. Springfield-Burke league does not do an IM carnival, but we run IM at every meet, sometimes putting it first.


We are in Springfield-Burke league and do am IM carnival the Monday before Divisionals … almost without fail …


+1, ours was canceled. Kind of a bummer since my kids enjoy it.

Oh, my bad! We are in that league but we don’t do IM Carnival. Didn’t know others did it.

B Meet canceled over here in Burke

IM is not a Saturday event in NVSL, so we run it at B meets.

I feel bad for anyone stuck outside at a B meet that wasn’t cancelled this evening (and/or waiting out a delay). Glad that our team pulled the trigger quickly.

FDL cancelled theirs about 5:40. Fairfax Developmental League only 3 of the 5 teams were swimming it. It was an IM Carnival.
