PENTATHLON

We have brought back an exciting swim meet to Tiger Splash. The Pentathlon Home Meet! We hope everyone can join us for this fun and special event!

Use this link to register your swimmer for this Saturday's meet. Pentathlon Sign Up CLICK HERE

• What is a Pentathlon Meet? This meet provides swimmers with the opportunity to compete against others in their age group to complete all four swim strokes and the individual medley. For the swimmers who choose to participate in these 5 events, points will be awarded for their finishing times and accumulated over the five events to award a Pentathlon Ribbon for places 1st-8^th (swimmers must compete in each of the 4 strokes and the IM to qualify for Pentathlon awards). **Ribbon photo attached.

• Why the Pentathlon? This is a fun and lower pressure way for swimmers to challenge themselves to try all four strokes and an individual medley. All swimmers attempting to complete the Pentathlon will receive a special heart bead.

• What if my swimmer isn’t ready? For the swimmers who aren’t ready to try all four strokes or an individual medley, this is still a normal swim meet. They may register for events they prefer and also participate in a freestyle relay.

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10^TH at 9:30PM.
