[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Because it would be better for the swimmer if they conformed to the standard set by US swim.  An exception can be made, but a rule change isn't necessary in order to do that.[/quote]

Says who that it would be better for the swimmer if they conformed to the US swim standard?

Because as it's been said multiple times; swim shirts, shorts, burkinis, etc. will only serve to make it harder.  Most sports benefit from uniform conformity.  And there's no real burden on inclusion, it's an email.[/quote]
