IM Ready
New USA Swimming motivational program

From USA SWIMMING

We have heard from many coaches that they really like the IM Xtreme program, but some of their developmental swimmers are just not ready to swim the longer events. Therefore, we have created the IM Ready (IMR) program. In general, it uses events that are half of the distances required for the IM Xtreme (IMX) program.

The great part is that you still do not need to do or tabulate anything! Just direct your swimmers to their My USA Swimming pages where they can automatically see their scores.

Because this program is designed to be a stepping stone to an athlete’s participation in IM Xtreme, IMR scores are ranked by club only. There will be no National, Zone, or LSC rankings associated with the IMR program. Just like IMX, athletes (and/or coaches) will be able to print their own IM Ready certificates from their My USA Swimming pages.

(Note: the IMX and IMR program are for SCY and LCM).

 

MARLINS NOTE:

Some of the Marlins annual awards are based upon the IMX program point system. We are inthe process of incorporating the NEW IM Ready point system into our annual awards beginning with the 2009-10 season. Please be sure to review the TEAM AWARDS definitions section of the web site for more details as they become available.
