No swimmer will be permitted to compete in the meet unless the swimmer is registered as an athlete member of USA Swimming as provided in USA Swimming Rules and Regulations Article 302.
Swimmers shall compete at the age attained on the first day of the meet.
Non-PVS Clubs interested in participating should request an invitation from the PVS Senior Chair, Evan Stiles, estile@arlingtonva.us.

Event Rules
All individual events are prelims/finals, except for the 1000yd and 1650yd Freestyle events which are timed finals.
Top twenty-four (24) qualifiers from prelims advance to Finals.
A swimmer may enter as many events as they qualify for but may compete in a maximum of 7 individual events and no more than 3 individual events per day.
Entry times will be verified through SWIMS. Coaches will be asked to provide proof of times when asked by the Meet Entry Chair for any time not found in SWIMS. Failure to prove such a time before the event will result in the swimmer being scratched from that event.
Distance Entries: Any swimmer who qualifies for the 1000 yd and/or 1650 yd freestyle events may enter at their fastest time or at the Time Standard, if entered in two or more events on the day of the distance freestyle.
Swimmers must provide their own counters (if desired) for the 500, 1000, and 1650 freestyle events.
Late entries will be accepted for a fee: $150 per club plus two times the entry fee.
