2000 PVS SHORT COURSE ZONE TEAM

Potomac Valley Swimming will be sponsoring the Eastern Zone 2000 All-Star Short Course Age Group Championship, competed at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex, Landover, MD, March 30 thru April 1, 2000. Because PVS is sponsoring this meet, the coaches have voted not to house our short course zone team in a hotel. This will give our athletes a chance to rest in their own beds as well as eat meals they are accustomed to. This is a good 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, and team bag. Additional optional apparel can be purchased at your own expense. A substantial portion of the team's cost is to be offset by PVS.

PVS ZONE PURPOSE

    Zone Team attire 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!!
