ENTRIES OPEN: 2024 OLY Fall Classic

by Birmingham Blue Dolphins, 2024-09-16T06:21:18.000-07:00September 16 2024, at 06:21 AM PDT

Entries are now open for the upcoming 2024 OLY Fall Classic being held at Oakland University on October 18-20, 2024. There are qualifying times for Friday events, but the remainder of the meet has no qualifying times. This is a USA-S meet, not a YMCA meet, therefore it is intended for experienced 9 and up swimmers who have swam at least 3 years of competitive swimming. This meet WILL NOT count towards the required 3 YMCA meets needed throughout the season.

Please be sure to enter your swimmer in their appropriate age group entries. OPEN events are intended for 13&up swimmers, in general.

If you have any questions about whether your child should enter this meet OR what events to enter, please email their appropriate age group coach (all emails are available on the BBD website under ABOUT BBD)

This is a quick turnaround, as the entry deadline is Thursday, September 19, 2024 at 8pm. Late entries will be unable to be accepted.

All information regarding the specifics for the meet are attached here in the meet packet, including the qualifying times for the Friday session, which are at the end of the meet packet.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s entry, please do not hesitate to email Lisa Helmick, BBD Meet Entry Chair, at bbdentries@gmail.com.


IMPORTANT…If your swimmer is NEW to BBD and has swam for another team previously, PLEASE email your child’s current USA-S ID number to bbdentries@gmail.com before the entry deadline. Without this information, MI Swimming will not allow your child to swim, even if entered in the meet. Please include in the email your swimmer’s name, their USA swimming ID number, as well as the team they most recently swam for.

IMPORTANT…If your child is NEW to BBD and has qualifying times for the Friday night events, but they are not available for entry because they are not yet uploaded in the system, please email bbdentries@gmail.com with any desired events to swim and it will be added to their entry with the proper entry time.

Please see email sent out to all parents for additional registration instructions
Any questions, please contact Lisa Helmick directly at bbdentries@gmail.com
