[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMX points are per year, not year bracket. In other words a swimmer with 2000 IMX points at age 11 may have 1700 immediately upon turning 12. Any given time in a stroke will get you less points as a 12 than as an 11 for the same time. So he might already have it or may not. [/quote]
+1, this is the correct response. If
your kid qualified last year as an 11 year old, he can still use all of those times from last year, but the point value is different as a 12 year old. I’ll give an example, an 11 year old boy who swam the 500 free in 6:00 got 576 points for that swim but as a 12 year old that time only gets you 437 points. So you would have to enter each of your kids’ times from last year and calculate how many points they get for those as a now 12 year old. [/quote]
Yes, but unless things have changed since we used to do this meet, swimming all of the IMX events for one’s age group in a single season achieves the minimum required point total for the age group (even if that total varies based on age in the age group). A few years ago, as others have said, you just needed to swim all of the events in the same course in one season. So if you did that in 2023-2024 and you’re still in the same age group, you should already be qualified for this season’s meet (if the rules haven’t changed). You’re probably just going in with a lower entry score. [/quote]
You don’t qualify for IMX just by swimming the events for your age group, you have to have a total of 1800 power points and the points are calculated by single age not by age group. So an 11 year old who just squeaked into the meet in 2024 with 1850 points will not have enough points using those times to swim at the meet in 2025 when they are 12. [/quote]
Interesting. A few years ago, it was like this. As long as you had a time in each of the IMX events for an age group (achieved on same course within current OR all in prior season), you’d have enough points to swim the meet. [/quote]
