A swimmer who has aged up since March 16, 2006 may not enter an event they were eligible to enter at PVS SHORT COURSE 14 & UNDER JUNIOR OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIPS. Any event that a swimmer is too fast to be eligible to swim in this meet, that swimmer is also ineligible to swim the corresponding relay leg (stroke and distance) on a relay team. A swimmer may also not enter an event if they were eligible to swim that event using a non-conforming (LCM) time at either the PVS SHORT COURSE 14 & UNDER JUNIOR OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIPS or the PVS SHORT/LONG COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Inclusion Policy for Swimmers with a Disability PVS and host clubs along with their Meet Directors are committed to the Inclusion Policy as adopted by the BOD. Athletes with a disability are welcomed and are asked to provide advance notice of desired accommodations to the Meet Director. The athlete (or the athlete’s coach) is also responsible for notifying the session referee of any disability prior to the competition.
WARM-UP: The prescribed Potomac Valley Swimming warm-up procedures and safety policies for Open warm-ups will be followed.
ORDER OF FINISH: The 9 and 10 year olds will be swum (seeded) together to create greater competition and help to shorten the meet length. However, the 9 and 10 year olds will be separated for order of finish, awards, and scoring points. Similarly, the 11 and 12 years olds will be swum together, but separated between 11 and 12 year olds for scoring, award, and order of finish. 13 and Over swimmers will be swum together but separated between 13-14 and 15/Over for order of finish, awards, and scoring.
AWARDS: Individual Awards: Medals will be awarded to first - eighth place finishers.
Relay Awards: Medals will be awarded to first - third place teams.
Team Awards: Teams will be split into three divisions based on team size determined by the clubs registration numbers with PVS. The top three teams in each division will receive trophies for their placement within their division.
