[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s NVSL. Nothing cancels or changes anything. Haha[/quote]

It's not. B meets aren't NVSL meets.[/quote]

But it’s under the NVSL umbrella. Would they cancel if it was an A meet? [/quote]

They would not cancel it if an A meet.  Only storms will cancel a meet.[/quote]
Agree. Last year there were several Saturday meets with extreme heat and they proceeded as planned, with recommendations on hydration, start times, etc. from the league.
B meets aren’t governed by the NVSL. They can’t mandate canceling them. More like a raincoat you’d pair with your umbrella vs. part of the umbrella. [/quote]

I'm in favor of starting our A meets at 730 if possible assuming no HOA restrictions (or any other noise ordinances) heat or no heat advisory. 9am start time just seems so late.[/quote]

Key swim meet volunteer here. 
I love the idea of starting earlier also, but remember at the *very least* you need 40 minutes of swimmers warming up before you can start the meet. 
Then adding in 20 minutes for briefings and other on-deck stuff, an 8:00 am start time would require teams to arrive before 6:30 at their home pool to caravan together to the meet location. [/quote]

Yep, it would.  And I'd definitely support it.  Babies, club meets, school busses, and many jobs start that early anyway.  And then we'd all have more of our Saturdays back.

If there's no noise rule for the neighborhood itself (in which case all bets are off), I'd also submit that 7:30am on a summer Saturday isn't too early for the world to get going, especially since at most a pool will host 3 A meets a year amd can easily circulate those days ahead of time. [/quote]
