News about USA Swimming Deck Pass ProgramEven though 25 yard events are not recognized by USA Swimming, there was a pilot program in 2012 to load these event results into the USA Swimming SWIMS database for the Deck Pass program. The loading of the 25y events into SWIMS caused some technical problems and resulted in bad data getting into the database. The pilot program has been discontinued and the 25y event results are no longer being loaded. However, parents and swimmers can still manually load the results of 25y swims into their Deck Pass accounts. To find out more about the USA-S Deck Pass program visit www.usaswimming.org/deckpass.
