The Cranberry Wave Masters team is part of the Allegheny Mountain YMCA Masters Swimming Association (www.amymsa.org). There are roughly 11 meets held during the season which runs from September through March. The meets are held at various YMCA's in the Allegheny Mountain region.

Meets are on Sundays with warm ups beginning at 11am and the actual meet starting at noon. A typical meet lasts around 3 hours depending on the amount of people who have signed up for any given meet. You compete within your 5 year age bracket but are seeded based on your time (i.e. you may be racing next to someone in a different age group or gender for competition purposes, but you place based on your result within your age group). You may compete in a maximum of 4 individual events as well as two relays at each meet.

Throughout the season you will receive notifications when we have a meet coming up and when entries for the meet must be submitted.

The AMYMSA Championship meet is held in April. Anyone who swims in a minimum of 3 meets during the regular season will be eligible to particpate in the Championship Meet.  The Championship Meet is a two day meet with the Schedule A events being held on Saturday and the Schedule B events being held on Sunday. 

Regular season meets will either be labeled a Schedule A or a Schedule B meet. Each "schedule" has a different list of events. The schedule used for a meet will alternate monthly so swimmers will have a opportunity to swim different events throughout the season.  The 2009-2010 Meet Schedule is published in the documents section under AMYMSA Forms.
