In terms of team size, we were 8th out of 10 teams (next year we REALLY need more swimmers to participate), but in terms of results, we finished 4th! Our tiny little team swam their hearts out and ended up with very impressive results.

Once I did that, it is really not bad--two hours total for one judge and 90 minutes total for the other 2 judges on either Saturday OR Sunday....
