After the finish to a great short course season, we move on to the long course swimming season, where all of our meets in the spring and summer are swum in a long course or 50 meter pool rather than a short course 25 yard pool.
The first long course swim meet will be our Arena Long Course Invitational to be held May 4-6 at the Baylor School Natatorium. We will then follow that meet up with the UltraSwim OPEN (June 2-3) that our club will host as well. Finally, please also take notice that the scratch deadline for the Richard Quick Invitational in Auburn, AL (June 22-24) is early. This meet fills up very quickly so entries will be due early in order to secure a space in the meet for our team. The link to the spring / summer long course meet schedule is available below and, all meets for the spring / summer have also been posted on the meets-info/results page on the website.
Below you will find hotel reservation information for away swim meets during the 2018 long course season for the Baylor Swim Club. In order to access this information you will need to login to the member section of the website.
