—I think Highlands has 9 relays in the top six. Langley has 4 relays in the top six. And Crosspointe has 5 relays in the top six. I fixed it above.

PVS meets seem to _avoid_ Saturday mornings, which limits A meet conflicts. Are you thinking only of meets further afield? Because it's often possible to get back from those and swim summer team as well if a swimmer is committed to doing so. I've seen it done.

I shouldn’t have missed that one, my child swims at the same club as (at least) one of those swimmers. So sorry!

There have been a few. A Machine meet in June and NCAP Elite Qualifier last weekend all had events on Saturday and many swimmers mixed NVSL. This weekend is PVS open champs, also on Saturday.

Some of the meets like the Mach June meet held the distance session on Saturday afternoon to mitigate conflicts. For PV champs it’s trickier this season with the incorporation of 50s to the event schedule.

14 and Under Champs is not having any swimming on Saturday, which I am assuming is because they are deferring to summer swim. I don’t think Junior/Senior champs is as concerned with summer swim. By the time swimmers are no longer age groupers they are generally less concerned with conflicts between club meets and summer meets.

Plus it’s only senior champs that is affected as junior champs is in the afternoon.

The only people swimming a Summer League Dual meet over Senior Champs are just the super talented very uncommitted swimmers which are not the ones younger swimmers should be looking to duplicate.

Junior Champs warmups are at noon on Saturday. Anyone from NoVa would probably need to leave NoVa around 11am or earlier. Of course the swimmer could later and warm up in the 25y pool and swim a later event.
