Eligibility:

Open to all USA Swimming registered athletes, with priority being given to PVS athletes. Clubs interested in participating should request an invitation from the PVS Senior Chairman, Riley Eaton at (301) 367-2819 or jreaton@verizon.net.   Contestants must have equaled or bettered the applicable no slower than (NST) qualifying times listed. Qualifying times must have been achieved after March 4, 2008.

Entry times for individual relay events shall have been achieved within the two years prior to the meet entry deadline; however, the times need not be the best competitive times of the swimmers but can be any time they have swum equal to or under the event qualifying time.  Swimmers entered in the 800/1000 and 1500/1650 freestyle do not need to enter their best times, but may enter themselves at their fastest time or at the time standard.

 

Rules:

Current USA Swimming rules shall govern the meet. All events are trials and finals, except for relays and the 1000 and 1650 freestyle, which will be timed finals. Evening event's heats will be swum in the following order: "A", "B" and “C”

 Positive check-in is required for all individual and relay events 400 yards and longer.  These events will be seeded on the deck. Swimmers and relay teams not checked-in will be scratched from that event. Athletes who have checked in, been seeded, and fail to swim the event will be barred from their next scheduled individual event.

Dive-over starts may be used during the preliminary sessions at this meet at the discretion of the Meet Manager and/or Meet Referee. Coaches are requested to review Guidance for Dive-Over Starts for Coaches.  Officials are requested to review Protocol for Dive-Over Starts.  

Effective October 1, 2009: In swimming competitions, the competitor must wear only one swimsuit in one or two pieces. For men, the swimsuit shall not extend above the navel nor below the knee, and for women, shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder, nor extend below the knee. All swimsuits shall be made from textile materials and may not contain zippers or other fastening devices. For additional information including the use of modesty wear under swimsuits, see the USA Swimming website.

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

 

Inclusion Policy for Swimmers with a Disability:

PVS and host clubs along with their Meet Directors are committed to the Inclusion Policy as adopted by the BOD . Athletes with a disability are welcomed and are asked to provide advance notice of desired accommodations to the Meet Director and PVS Senior Chairman (Riley Eaton) at jreaton@verizon.net. The athlete (or the athlete’s coach) is also responsible for notifying the session referee of any disability prior to the competition.

 

Warnings:

Any club that enters an unregistered or improperly registered athlete, falsifies an entry in any way, or permits an unregistered coach to represent them, will be fined the sum of $100.00 per occurrence and no further entries will be accepted from that club until the said fine has been paid.

All entry times and USA Swimming memberships will be verified via the SWIMS database.  Any athlete not achieving a QT may be asked to prove the entry time to the Meet Director prior to the start of the meet.

Entry fees are due with meet entry.  Unpaid fees will be reported to the PVS Administrative Office at the conclusion of the meet.

 

1000 & 1650 Timed Finals:

Swum fastest to slowest, and will alternate women and men as only one course is used. The fastest heat of the Women's 1000 and Men's 1650 will be swum as the first event of the evening program on Sunday. Positive check-in is required. Verification of time must be submitted with entry.

Swimmers are also required to provide their own timers (except for the fastest heat on Sunday) and if desired, lap counters.

 

Relays:
