[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]

Remember too that some away teams have long drives, so could be earlier than a 6:30 departure.  Our A meet this past weekend was 45 minutes away (NVSL).  We would have needed to leave by ~6:15 for an 8am start.  That's arguably worse for the kids than the heat at an 11:30 finish as opposed to a 10:30 finish.[/quote]
