B FINALS @ Bloomfield Hills SURF Register

July 20th  

All Swimmers who swam in at least two (2) dual meets may participate and must register.

This meet is for any swimmer who will not participate in A Finals. All eligible swimmers are encouraged to participate. This is a super fun meet for the kids and usually kids swim their best times in this meet!

All eligible swimmers must register for B Finals.  The CSC swim chairs will unregister all A Finals swimmers. If you do not plan to swim, please be sure to sign the “Coach I Can’t Swim” sheet. After B finals your swimmer is done swimming for the season.

Join us for a pasta dinner to start the carbo-load and paper plate awards the Friday evening before B Finals. We ask for a nominal cost to cover expenses. After eating, the swimmers decorate their yard sign and take them home with them.

A FINALS @ Beachwood 

July 27th: A Finals prelims

July 28th: A Finals Championships 

Coach Kate will notify your swimmer if he/she will be participating in this event. Generally, it is reserved for the 2 fastest team swimmers for each event.  There are some relay swimmers only.

The A finals swimmers continue to practice during the week after B finals.  All A Final swimmers practice together the last week prior to A Finals. Time TBD. Coach Kate will inform the A Final Swimmers.

Preliminary rounds will be on Saturday and final rounds on Sunday.

If you cannot swim in A Finals due to other commitments (i.e. camp), please be sure to sign the “Coach I Can’t Swim” sheet ASAP and your last day of practice will be after B Finals.

There are a number of events scheduled for our A Finals swimmers during A Finals weekend. It all starts with Spaghetti Shavedown which is scheduled for the Friday of A Finals. This is our carbo-load event and paper plate awards prior to A Finals. Those of you asking why it’s called the “Spaghetti Shavedown” – it’s because those that want to will have the opportunity to get their heads shaved to get ready for their fastest A Final swim. This is completely on a “want to” basis. On Saturday morning, there is a 13 & up breakfast planned at the club and on Sunday a breakfast for all championship swimmers.
