Format Definitions: Prelim/Finals: prelims is short for preliminaries.  There are two sessions per day in these meets for the 9 and older age groups.
They swim in the morning "prelims" attempting to qualify for the "finals" session, usually the top 16 or 24 swimmers. 
8 and under swimmers will typically swim in a timed final format at those meets.
Timed Finals: Each swimmer swims their events once and those results are final.
