Q: What are Divisionals and how do I participate?

All 6 teams will gather at TBD on Friday, June 26th and Saturday, June 27th to determine the winner for GREEN Division. Each team at Divisionals has a theme and participates in a parade before the meet. We encourage all our swimmers to participate, so please make plans to attend an awesome week of activities and exciting meet. All of the costs are included in your registration fees.
Q: What is Championships & Classics (C&C) and how do I participate?
A: Championships & Classics (C&C) are held following the Divisional Meet at Westside Aquatic Complex (2700 West Blue Ridge Drive | Greenville, SC 29611). For 2026, C&C will held July 11-12. After the Divisional Meet, all of the swimmers from the (31) teams are combined into one group. The Top (40) swimmers for each event (individual and relay) and age group are invited to swim July 11-12. Swimmers ranked (17-40) will swim Saturday in the Championships Event. Swimmers ranked (1-16) will swim Sunday in the Classics Event. All qualified C&C swimmers will be notified as soon as possible following Divisionals. Shortly following Divisionals, an order needs to be placed for SAIL custom Championships or Classics t-shirts. The coaches will explain all of the details for this extra week of excitement! It is a great week and YOU EARNED IT!
Q: What are the details regarding the Championships & Classics (C&C) t-shirts?
A: If your swimmer qualifies to swim C&Cs in either an individual event or as a member of a relay team, they will have the opportunity to purchase a custom Championships or custom Classics t-shirt. Custom means they will be able to put whatever they would like on the back. Orders are placed shortly following the Divisional Meet.
Terminology:
SAIL:
The Swim Association Invitational League, one of the biggest recreational swim leagues in the Southeast, has been a tradition for generations of Greenville County families. SAIL includes more than 30 neighborhood swim teams and over 4,000 swimmers. Each year, the teams are divided into 6 Divisions - Red, Purple, White, Blue, Green, and Gold - based on points earned in the previous year at the Divisional meet. (we are currently in the green division.) The Divisional Meet is the culmination and focus of the season. The results of Divisionals are used to determine the division placement of the teams for the following season. Therefore, it is important to have as many swimmers as possible participate and help the team.
Disqualification: “DQ”
A swimmer or relay team’s performance is not counted because of a rules infraction. A disqualification is shown when an official raises an arm with an open hand above their head.
Dry Land practice:
The training exercises and various strength programs swimmers do out of the water. (We do this for the first 2-3 weeks of practices)
Dual Meet:
Type of meet where TWO teams compete against each other.
False start:
When a swimmer leaves the starting block before the horn or gun. One false start will disqualify a swimmer or a relay team, although the starter or referee may disallow the false start due to unusual circumstances.
Fun Fridays:
An after meet (held Friday mornings) celebration with treats and games where swimmers collect ribbons, get feedback from coaches, and swimmer of the week is announced. Swimmers are placed in a group for the season with a coach for these games. At the end of the season the team who wins with the most fun Friday points gets a small prize.
Heat:
Swim meets are broken down into a series of races called ‘heats’ because too many swimmers enter to all compete in the pool at the same time. Each event is separated into heats of six or eight swimmers racing at a time (based on the number of lanes in the pool). Swimmers are seeded into heats by their entry times to allow each heat to be competitive.
Heat Sheet:
The pre-meet listings of swimmers’ seed times in the various events at a swim meet. These sheets vary in accuracy, since coaches submit swimmers’ times a week before the meet and swimmers scratch out of events at the last minute.
Individual Medley: “IM”
A swimming event requiring all four of the competitive strokes on consecutive lengths of the race. The order must be: Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Freestyle with equal distances of each stroke.
Ironman:
A goal/accomplishment awarded for swimmers who swim all 6 individual events (8 u pick between IM and long free) legally in a meet. These swimmers are recognized and receive a gift at the end of year party.
Pasta Pump:
A big meal with lots of carbohydrates for swimmers to fill up on before the biggest meet of the season!
