RULE REFRESHERS
Freestyle - Per the NVSL rules, freestyle may be swum in any manner (on the back, on the front, on the side, doing another stroke, etc.) and this rule includes the 'freestyle' leg of the Individual Medley event and the Medley Relay event.
False Starts - After a swimmer is disqualified for a false start AND if the race has not begun, it is the rule that the swimmer is not permitted to swim in that event. No heckling allowed!
All rule clarification questions should be directed to Pamela Stark-Reed at pesreed@yahoo.com and askNVSL@gmail.com.
RAIN & THUNDER
If a storm is in the forecast for Saturday: The meet will go on while it's raining. Thunder and lightning is not acceptable - go to your cars and wait it out.
COMMUNICATION is the key to avoiding conflict. Talk it out!
