2002 PVS SHORT COURSE ZONE TEAM

Potomac Valley Swimming will be sending an All Star Team to the Eastern Zone 2002 All-Star Short Course Age Group Championship, competed at Gloucester County Institute of Technology in Sewell New Jersey, April 4,5,6 2002. This is a great chance for PVS athletes to compete against the best in the East and get to know and develop friendships with other athletes from other PVS clubs.

All PVS swimmers are encouraged to apply for selection to the team. The fastest two athletes from each event will be selected 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, and team bag. A substantial portion of the team's cost is to be offset by PVS.

Swimmers selected for the team are required to travel and room with the team.
