This is my blog that follows swimming & diving in Winona MN and those Winonans that have left to swim elsewhere. Occasionally I will post items of info related to swimming & diving in general.

What's this about truth stuff? Mom said my cousin went away seeking truth and we didn’t see him for 5 years, no way!



Wondering what this True Team Section meet is about? 

True Team competition is based on the idea that every team member's performance counts toward the team's score in competition. 

Rather than only scoring 1st - 5th like in a dual, or 1st -16th like at Conference, Sections and State, in True Team, everyone that swims scores. If there are 32 entries, then 1st place gets 32 points, and 32nd place gets 1 point. 

It is a measure of a team’s depth, rather than a handful of scoring swimmers. 

The competition uses the same Sections as the State Team/Individual Championships, and there is a State True Team Championship as well, the following weekend from the Sections. Each winner of the Section True Team gets to proceed on to the State True Team.
