2. I know Wood has no pool, where do they practice?
   

   Since Archbishop Wood has no pool we rent pool time from the centenial school district over at Klinger Middle School. Klinger has been very good to our team and has accommodated many of our needs over the past years. The pool is located at Klinger Middle School on Second Street Pike in Southampton, PA in between Street and Bristol roads. For directions to Klinger, you can click on this link for a map to the pool

Individual events are scored as follows: 6 points for first place, 4 points for second place, 3 points for third place, 2 points for fourth place and 1 point for fifth place. No points are scored for sixth place. The total points that can be scored for a dual meet are 170. Once a team scores 86 points, it wins the meet.

5. What events are swum in a Dual Meet
   

   In the Philadelphia Catholic League there are 11 events with no diving events. In the PIAA diving is added as event 5. In non-league meets against PIAA schools, events are determined by the home school, which means diving is included. If the teams in a non-league meet both agree no diving will be included then this event is excluded. When there is no diving there is a five minute break after the 50 Freestyle and after the 500 Freestyle, otherwise there are no breaks. The events in a dual meet are as follows:
   Event 1 - 200 Medley Relay
   Event 2 - 200 Freestyle
   Event 3 - 200 Individual Medley
   Event 4 - 50 Freestyle
   Event 5 - Diving (if included in PIAA meets)
