[quote=Anonymous][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]

There is a burden on inclusion because the kids who are most likely to wear swim shirts are brand new to the sport and their parents aren’t likely to know that they could have requested an exemption. And even some team reps are new and don’t know. [/quote]
