Entries will still be due by February 10, 2016. For those swimmers whose birthday occurs between February 1 and February 10, their age will be their age of record as of January 31, 2016. For everyone else, it will still be as of the day they swam, and results will be compiled accordingly. This extension shall apply to all swimmers regardless of their LMSC.
