Report of PVS Webmaster
April 3, 2001

The PVS Swimming website (pvswim.org) continues to record usage of the site. March 2001 was the busiest month since the inception of the page. Interest in the results in the many meets held within the LSC during the month (PVS SCY Champs, PVS 14/Under JO Champs, Sectionals, Mini Champs, Spring Champs, March Madness, and Eastern Zones) as well as interest in selection of the PVS Eastern Zone team was primarily responsible for these very high figures.

Usage at the site has continued to grow on an annual month to month comparison, though the rate of growth is now more modest.

Some summary figures follow:

Activity is expected to diminish significantly until long course competition resumes.

Alternatives to current provider will be investigated shortly in light of press reports regarding its frequent changes in top management and the substantial decline in its stock price. All content of the site is backed up on the Webmaster's computer.
