400 Kick For Time:  Any athlete entered in Event 1 will be automatically entered in the 400 KFT, a USMS Virtual Event, at no additional charge.  Because the 400 Kick For Time is a USMS Virtual event, with different rules from in-person SCY competitions, it requires that swimmers compete with the age group they are on December 31.  This rule does not apply to the regular events (#3-26).  Adjustments will be made automatically for those with birthdates between and including December 8-31, should they change into another age group.
