It also seems like it could lead to injury.
Would love to hear Super Sectionals tips and tricks for this meet from those that have done it before.
Updated:
Chase starts will be used EXCEPT FOR the Relays, 800 Free, and 1500 Free
The 400 Free and 400 IM will be flighted: first 4 heats will swim slow to fast; remaining heats will swim fast to slow and alternating between Men/Women. As per the new USAS rules, a swimmer is permitted a counter for the 400 Free if desired.
There will be a D heat in finals that is age restricted to 18 and under.
Good luck to all the athletes swimming!
The D heat at finals is actually 16 and under protected.

Can’t find it and Virginia swimming has nothing active.
