WHAT IS THE POSTAL TWO-MILE RELAY?

The Postal Two-Mile Relay is an annual competition where relays consisting of two, three, or four swimmers each swim 100 yards (or time-adjusted meters) in rotation until 3600 yards is completed. Swimmers can start from a starting block, pool deck, or push off from the wall, as long as their feet do not leave the starting platform before the preceding teammate touches the wall. 

This year all relays were swum between October 1 and November 30, 2021. Each team was required to have a timer counting and recording split times for each four lengths (100 yards or meters) on the official event split sheet. These times were then submitted online by December 10 for scoring.
