Time Trials - Kentlands Kingfish

⏱️ Time Trials

Time Trials is our official Kingfish-only scrimmage meet that kicks off the swim season. It’s run just like a real meet—with Stroke & Turn Judges, a Starter, and a Referee—and gives swimmers their first set of official times for the summer.

These times help track personal progress and are used by our Head Coach to seed the first A Meet of the season.

Participation rules:

All Team swimmers who are legal and comfortable in at least one stroke are expected to swim at Time Trials.

It’s a great opportunity to swim every stroke and get early-season feedback.

The Head Coach will review all entries to make sure swimmers are entered in strokes they’re ready for.

Note: Pre-Team and Little Kingfish do not participate in Time Trials.

When It Happens:

Time Trials usually takes place the Saturday morning before the first A Meet. Make every effort to attend!

Make-Up Time Trials:

A make-up session is offered only for swimmers with valid conflicts—examples include SAT/ACT testing, illness, or a family emergency. This short session is typically held on a weekday evening after the regular Time Trials.

If your swimmer needs to attend the make-up, parents will be expected to help time or volunteer. A Stroke & Turn Judge and Starter will be scheduled to ensure the session meets requirements.

For all other situations, swimmers should plan to swim at the first B Meet to get their times.

🔔 Important Reminder:

Swimmers must be registered and membership dues must be paid in full to participate in Time Trials.
