[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To pp about the shirt rule- what is process for getting an exemption? We have a friend who quit because his team wouldn’t allow him to wear a shirt even at a b meet[/quote]

B meets are not governed by NVSL rules.  Your friend needs to bring this up with their own team reps.

Exemptions for A meets are as simple as sending an email:  "Little Johnny/Little Jill needs to wear a sun shirt for modesty reasons."  As a former team rep, we never had one turned down.[/quote]

But if it is always approved, why not make the rule that it is always approved instead of each team having to ask. [/quote]

+1 agreed. You could draft the rule to permit anything from swim shirts to burquinis, provided they are securely on the body, made of swimsuit materials (some combo of nylon, polyamide, polyester,  spandex, and elastic should cover it), and don’t have the stated characteristics of a tech suit.

Kids swimming in these things aren’t going to have any advantage but if it reduces their barriers to participation it’s worth it. [/quote]
