USF Valentines Day Meet
The USF Valentines Day Meet will be held on 11 February. There are significant changes to the meet this year. The first is that there is no deck entry at the meet (you can enter the meet on-line until 11:59 PM the evening prior to event - 10 February). Also this year, swimmers will compete in just the 50s and 100s, so the meet will go very fast. Since this is the Valentines Day meet, men and women will seeded together.
