IMX Challenge

The IM Xtreme (IMX) Challenge, sanctioned by USA Swimming, is a comprehensive ranking system that evaluates swimmers based on their performance in a series of five or six events, spanning longer distances. Upon completion of the IMX program, swimmers can discover their national, zone, LSC, and club rankings, accessible on the USA Swimming website or through the USA Swimming mobile app, Deck Pass. Athletes aiming to progress from Tigers 1 or Tigers 2 to Tiger Pride must achieve an IMX score of at least 1,500 points.
