Zone Time standards
To qualify, swimmer must have achieved a National "A" time in the longest freestyle event since Aug 1 of the previous year: 10 & under 200 Free, 11-12 400/500 Free, 13-14 or 15-18 1500/1650 Free
*** Swimmer does not have to swim that event in the ZONE pool competition, they just need to have the cut

Note: the Ohio Travel Team, coaches, and staff are not participating in this year's Open Water Championships held on Wednesday morning Aug 6th prior to pool registration which begins at 10:30AM at IUPUI.  If an Ohio swimmer wants to participate in the Open Water event, the Ohio Coordinator will process your entries - simply note the Open Water entry your registration form. An Ohio USA Official will be on the premise to act as a technical liaison at the event. If you are traveling with the team - you are responsible for your own travel to the Open Water event, then you will join the travel team at Wednesday's registration at IUPUI prior to team pictures.  This is the only condition in which a travel swimmer may join the travel team outside of the four Ohio pickup cities. Swimmers that have qualified for the Open Water Championships but have not qualified for pool events are members of TEAM OHIO and may travel with the team and obtain the equipment package. Since equipment packages are distributed during Wednesday’s registration at the IUPUI Natatorium, Open Water participants will need to provide their own competition suit for the event.

Open Water competition will take place at Eagle Creek Reservoir, which is approximately 20 minutes northwest from the IUPUI Natatorium.  The park charges a $5 parking fee per vehicle. If an Ohio swimmer is only competing in Open Water and not traveling with the team nor entering pool events, they are exempt from the $35 Ohio coaching fee.
