[quote=Anonymous][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]

As someone who lives near enough to a pool to hear the yelling and screaming begin at 8am, no thanks to a 730am start time with warmups starting at 630am.  And I don't even live right adjacent to the pool.  [/quote]

Was the pool there when you moved in? Bet it was - caveat emptor babe 🤷🏼‍♀️[/quote]
