2016 BANK OF TENNESSEE MODEL CITY INVITATIONAL
hosted by the BARRACUDA SWIM CLUB of NORTHEAST TENNESSEE
FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JUNE 10-12, 2016
The Barracuda Swim Club invites you to attend our annual Model City Invitational. The first Model City Invitational was held in Kingsport, Tennessee, the "Model City", in 1959. Throughout the years and at different venues in town, this meet gained a reputation as one of the premier summer meets in the region. The meet was discontinued after the 2006 season due to deteriorating facilities. With the opening of the new Kingsport Aquatic Center, and with the sponsorship of Bank of Tennessee, the Model City Invitational was reestablished. With a great venue for promoting fast swimming, the meet was a huge success. We welcome you to be a part of this fast, fun event in 2016.
This meet will be conducted under the auspices of Southeastern Swimming, Inc. of USA Swimming. USA Swimming technical rules and regulations will be followed with the exception of items specifically addressed in the meet information.
