PVS and host clubs along with their Meet Directors are committed to the Inclusion Policy as adopted by the Board of Directors.  Athletes with disabilities are welcome to participate, 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.

11 and over Swimmers may enter a maximum of 6 individual events during the entire meet and no more than 3 individual events per day.

10 and under swimmers may enter a maximum of 3 events

It may be necessary to limit entries in certain events due to time constraints.

Dive-over starts will be used at both 11 & Over sessions. 

No on-deck USA-S registrations will be permitted.

Time Trials:     No time trials will be held at this meet.

 Warm-up

The prescribed Potomac Valley Swimming warm-up procedures and safety policies will be followed.  The meet director may determine the structure of the warm-up, including times and lane assignments.

 Supervision

Coaches are responsible for the conduct of their swimmers and families, as well as maintaining clean team areas.    Coaches & deck officials are required to display their valid 2008 USA Swimming credentials. 

Coaches are responsible for ensuring that their team areas are clean of any debris at the conclusion of each meet session.

There is no admission charge. Meet programs will be made available at www.snowswimming.org by Friday April 18th at 12pm.

Officials

All certified officials wishing to volunteer to work this meet should contact Alan McCorkle.  Please include your club affiliation, certifications held, and sessions you wish to work.

Certified officials who have not previously volunteered should contact the referee upon arrival to make their services available. A comprehensive officials briefing will precede each session during warm-up.

Each participating club is requested to provide at least one official and 3 timers per session if entering 25 or more swimmers.

Seating

Due to the limited pool deck space, no chairs are allowed on deck.

Penalties
