TSUNAMI…??
The IMX Challenge is a motivational program
whereby swimmers will be scored and ranked nationally on their
performance in a combination of five or six events. The purpose of
the program is to promote versatility in age group swimming while
advocating greater participation and development across a range of
events that are integral to long term success in
swimming.
Following is a series of key points detailing
information about this new program:
 Program
Description
Swimmers will participate in a
designated combination of five or six events and, based on the
power points scored for each of those swims, earn a combined score
that will be called the IMX Score. These combined scores will be
ranked by single ages with rankings and recognition available on
the USA Swimming website.
IMX
Score
Using Hy-Tek’s Single-Year Age
Group Power Points, all USA Swimming registered athletes earn an
“IMX Score” based on the cumulative point total of the
combination of IMX events for their age level. The overall IMX
score, as well as the swimmer’s current best score for each
IMX event, appears on the athlete’s My USA Swimming
page for each season. As times in
these events improve, the swimmer’s IMX score is
automatically updated.
In order to receive an IMX score, a swimmer
must legally swim each IMX event for their age level in a
sanctioned meet at least once during the season.
A swimmer’s times will count for the
entire season-so if a swimmer ages up during a season the IMX score
on the My USA Swimming
page will show a score for
his/her lower age group and their new age group.
My USA
Swimming Page
We strongly encourage swimmers who have
not done so to create a web account to be able to access their
personal My USA Swimming
page! If a swimmer has already
swum the event combo for his/her age level, the IMX score and
ranking now appears in a special section of the
swimmer’s My USA Swimming
page. The only place to access an
overall IMX Score, as well as the swimmer’s current best
score for each IMX event, is on that swimmer’s
personal My USA Swimming
page. Other features of this
special page include a display of personal best times and
corresponding power points, a list of meets participated in, a
graphical display of times info, seasonal and lifetime best
comparisons, in addition other member only features. In order to
create a free web account please go to
www.usaswimming.org and

Swimming page

How to

Participation in this program is easy.

events for their age group and they will be part of the
program.
