Selection Process


17&Over Selection
All 17&Over Swimmers will be selected by the head coach based on performance and leadership ability.  Swimmers currently swimming as part of the club as well as MSSAC swimmers at University and colleges are eligible for selection.  There will be a maximum of 8 swimmers selected from this category and a minimum of zero. 

16&Under Selection
The selection for 16&under swimmers includes the following criteria.

  1. DTS (Developmental Tracking System) to evaluate swimmer in their age group and overall.   
  2. Relays.  Relays are important as they score double points.  The swimmers will be evaluated on their ability to help field the strongest relays.
  3. We will also evaluate the swimmers individual ability to score points at the meet.
  4. Swimmer commitment level, team spirit, and attendance is also included in the evaluation for selection.

The 40 swimmers will be announced following the short course Junior Provincial Championships.  Selected swimmers will be given a deadline to confirm participation and alternates will be picked up based on the above criteria should any of the 40 selected swimmers decline their spots.
