Every Wednesday evening, all swimmers are given the opportunity to swim 3 stroke events plus an Individual Medley (IM) in an effort to improve their times and swim in the A meets held on Saturday mornings. If a swimmer has swum the event in the previous Saturday "A" meet, they cannot swim that event in the B meet. This practice is designed to give everyone a fair chance to qualify for the Saturday (A) meets. In case a swimmer is signed up for 4 stroke events instead of allowed 3 events he/she will be dropped from Fly event.
