[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Atlanta Swimming Association (ASA) is bigger than NVSL. They hold Champs at Georgia Tech every year and have since the 1996 Olympics. It takes place over 3-4 days in sessions, and it includes individual events and the relay events. The largest/most competitive teams are grouped in the same session, but times from all the sessions count in the final awards. There are a lot more swimmers in this champs meet, but runs like a well-oiled machine. While there obviously isn’t a venue like Tech up here, holding ASR and IAS together at a college pool seems like the best choice. Who cares if it’s yards? And they can reconfigure the LC pool with bulkheads to make it 25 meters. I’m sure they can even move the flags. I’d absolutely pay entry fees like we do for club meets to cover the cost.[/quote]

ETA: Teams only go to one session, so it’s not like a club champs meet that requires swimmers to go 3-4 days in a row.[/quote]

Nobody here gives a crap what the Atlanta Swim Association does.  NVSL is  an outdoor swim league.  The Atlanta champs meet has eight-year-olds that swim a 25 yard freestyle in 57 seconds and pay $50 per swimmer.  Barf.[/quote]

You’re funny. Also, it is important to learn how to discern the main idea of a paragraph or piece of writing. Perhaps you might want to return to the 3rd grade. You must have missed learning this skill in school. I’ll help you, but just this once:

The largest summer league in the U.S. (all of which teams compete outdoors) uses a university pool for their champs meet. Yes, ASA does not have cut times or a specific number of swimmers per event, but that is irrelevant to the point of the statement above. Main idea: It is possible to run ASR and IAS out of a university pool, and ASA has an established model that NVSL could adapt, especially since there are far fewer kids swimming at ASR and IAS than are swimming at the ASA Champs meet.[/quote]
