Note:

The Meet Director and PVS Admin office will determine if the session start times or check in times

will need to be adjusted based upon the number of entries received.

Meet Director reserves the right to limit the number of entries for any event and/or positive check in all

events in order to keep timelines manageable.

Eligibility: Open to all registered Potomac Valley Swimming athletes ages 9-18 as of the first day of the meet who meet the following criteria:

All individual events’ qualifying times will be governed by “No Faster Than” (NFT) time standards. The NFT time standards are equivalent to the SCY individual qualification time standards for the 2010 PVS 14 & Under Junior Olympic Championships for the 14 & under swimmers and PVS Junior Championships for 15-18 swimmers.
Entries must be submitted in SCY – no converted times are permitted.

IMPORTANT: Swimmers who attain a new age group between February 20 and March 4 for 15 and Over and March 18 for 14 & Unders may compete as “exhibition” in any event where their time: (1) is faster than the 2010 PVS 18 & Under AG Championships “No Faster Than” standard for their current age group; AND ALSO (2) is slower than the 2010 PVS 14 & Under JO’s or Junior Champs “No Slower Than” standards for their new age group. These exhibition swims will prevent swimmers from potentially being excluded from both the 2010 18 & Under AG Championships, 2010 14 & Under JO’s or the PVS Junior Champ meets. If you have any questions about eligibility please contact Age Group Chairman Bill Marlin at coach_bill@verizon.net.

A contestant may participate in only his or her own age group.
