Invitational Meets Invitational Meets are optional meets, held mid and endof-season that are open to swimmers reaching a certain level of competition. Swimmers must meet qualifying times in order to participate. Qualifying times vary depending on the Invitational. These meets offer a fantastic opportunity for our families and swimmers to compete at a higher level. Shockwaves will pay the entry fee for relays. However, individual event entry fees are paid by the swimmer. The cost per individual event is $5.00. This year, Shockwaves will have the option to participate in 4 invitational meets:
