In response to requests from newer families for basic information about NVSL and MVP's swim team, we're providing a direct link to the MVP Gators Swim Team Manual on the website. 

While far from comprehensive, the manual includes information on our version of summer swim, including explanations of the difference between "A" and "B" meets, MVP's seeding policy for A meets, and descriptions of divisional meets like this week's Divisional Relay Carnival, excerpted below.

• Divisional Relay Carnival: On a Wednesday evening in the middle of the season, all teams in the division compete in a relay-only meet. Each team enters freestyle and medley relay team in each age group (boys and girls), as well as a mixed age freestyle relay team. The meet is age specific and no swimmer may “swim up” for this competition. The coaches and team rep seed this event using the time ladder. Generally only the 4 or 5 fastest swimmers in each age group participate. The meet is scored and the winning team receives a trophy as Division Relay Champion. The times of each winning relay are forwarded to the NVSL and the 18 fastest relay teams in each event are invited to the All Star Relay Carnival. If you are selected to swim at the Divisional Relay Carnival, but will not be able to swim at the All Star Relay Carnival, you must inform the head coach of your planned absence immediately because only one substitution is allowed. 

Please have a look at the manual when you have a chance and let us know if there is additional information you'd like us to include.
