The swim year is considered to begin in September with the short course season. The meets during the SC season are in 25 yard pools (the width of DeNunzio Pool). Some meets offer 25 yard events for the 8 and under group. The SC season culminates with Junior Olympics championships in March. The long course season generally begins in late March or April. The meets during the LC season are usually in 50 meter (Olympic size) pools (the length of DeNunzio Pool). The shortest races in a LC meet are 50m, or one length. The LC season culminates with the Junior Olympics championships in late July.
