A Meets
The A Meets are divided into two parts. The first is for individual races. The second is for relays. Please stay for the entire meet and support the relays, even if your swimmer isn’t scheduled to swim a relay. We will occasionally schedule a second B Relay team and may choose your swimmer if he/she has stayed. Also, a swimmer may become ill and we may need a last minute substitute. Often, the winning team of the meet is decided by a relay.
SCORING
The score is kept at A Meets for the NVSL. In the individual events, a first place finish earns 5 points for the team, a second place scores 3 points and a third place finish scores 1 point. We make every attempt to field 3 swimmers in each event for each age group. Sometimes, we may ask a younger swimmer to compete in an older group to fill an empty lane. Every point counts in A Meets!
Relay events are swum at the end of A Meets and receive 5 points for a win. A swimmer should always find out if he/she is swimming in one of the relays and plan to stay at the pool until the end of the meet. Swimmers should notify their coaches prior to leaving a meet.
All swimmers must check with the head coach if he/she must leave before the end of a meet
