+1.  Maryland seems much more cautious than VA judging by how our year-round team has to go to VA to do any meets.  Our MCSL team ran practices last summer and some time trials.  I expect the same this year.  The only option I see for dual meets would be virtual (each team swimming at their own pool and comparing times).  I'm not sure all teams would even be able to do that.  I don't see the big meets like relay carnival, coaches, and all-stars happening this summer,[/quote]

Club teams have been running safe indoor meets for months. There is no good reason that they cannot run a safe outdoor meet. B meets may need to be limited in size, but the A meets can be run safely. [/quote]

I don't disagree that it can be done, but one big difference is that club teams have automatic timing, which means one timer per lane as a back up is fine.  Fitting three people in a seven foot wide lane is introducing close contact, and [b]without three people, the times can't be official (at least for NVSL[/b], not sure the other leagues).  Does NVSL take the risk assuming people are getting vaccinated or change the rules so only one time is needed?  [/quote]

This is a consideration. It can be changed for the season.

Right now the goal is for the NVSL to have a summer season. Be patient. The Return to Competition Committee meets for the first time tomorrow. Be willing to think outside the box. I know some people automatically think about what it "normally" looks like, but there is a good chance changes will be made.[/quote]

This committee did meet and the NVSL board is meeting tomorrow. The seeding meeting is in March this year instead of February. They're working on it.[/quote]
