Potomac Valley Swimming will be sending an All-Star team to the 1998 Eastern Zone Age Group Championship Meet. The meet will be held at the Gloucester County Institute of Technology, Sewell, NJ, April 2-4, 1998. This is a great opportunity for PVS swimmers to compete against the best in the East. All PVS swimmers are encouraged to apply for selection to the team. No swimmer will be selected for more than six events.
PVS will provide a team outfit package to each swimmer to include: a team swimsuit, T-shirt, swim cap, team bag, and warm-up suit. A substantial portion of the team’s cost is to be offset by PVS. Negotiations are under way to finalize hotel, meals and travel arrangements.
The purpose of the Short Course Zone Team is to prepare Potomac Valley swimmers to compete in a team environment at a national level meet.
SELECTION OF ZONE TEAM ATHLETESZone rules specify that no swimmer who has participated in an individual event in USS Junior Championships or the National Championships may enter this meet. Swimmers who have achieved a USS Championship time standard may not enter that event or swim the same relay leg.
VERIFICATION OF TIMES FROM NON-PVS MEETS IS REQUIRED WITH APPLIATION. |
Swimmers selected for the team are required to travel with the team. Team members will attend all meet sessions; and PVS Zone Team outfits, including team suits, must be worn at prelims and finals. Because swimmers selected for the team represent all the swimmers in POTOMAC VALLEY, they are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Disciplinary problems may result in swimmers being sent home at the parent’s expense, exclusion from future PVS Zone Teams, exclusion from PVS Camps, and forfeiture of PVS travel support. Selection to the Zone Team is a significant accomplishment and honor which carries with it certain responsibilities. It is a great experience and a chance to SWIM FAST.
