| We will be hosting our second Block Party of the season–PST IM Ready Block Party Meet–on September 27-28, 2025 at Mills College. This will be a fun and unique meet designed for swimmers to compete in a series of five, IM Ready (IMR) events. The IMR/IMX series is a USA Swimming program designed to help various age groups compete in multiple events. It allows USA Swimming members to track their times (or coaches to track their team’s times) against swimmers all across the nation. The first step in the USA Swimming IMX Challenge is IM Ready (or IMR). To get "IM Ready," swimmers compete in a series of five events at shorter distances:
- 9 & Under; 10-year olds: 100 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly, 100 IM (SC) or 200 IM (LC)
- 11-year olds; 12-year olds: 200 Free, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 50 Fly, 100 IM (SC) or 200 IM (LC)
- 13 & up: 200 Free, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Fly, 200 IM
- Once you've swum each event at least once at an official meet, you can log in to your USA Swimming Account, and find out where you rank against all the other swimmers on your club team.
