With school starting well before Labor Day in NoVa now, what are the options? We’ve established the true nutters don’t think anyone should travel during summer swim. So you want 2 weeks of the summer anyone can travel? Get real. Things overlap. Pick your priority.
Holding the All-Star meet on the first Saturday in August also creates a conflict with the Eastern Zone Long Course meets. There were a number of NVSL all-stars who swam in both meets last year. They would have to choose if the All-Star meet were a week later.
This is a small number of kids so no offense who cares.
The bigger issue is giving all families to have some time to travel.
It’s a smaller number of kids, but generally there are a lot of club swimmers amongst the All Stars, so Zones is a consideration. Let me guess, you’re one of the parents that hopes faster kids can’t make it to All Stars so your kid has a shot.

I’m a team rep and we know families won’t make all practices before school gets out due to conflicts. That’s fine. It’s summer swim as earlier PPs pointed out. Missing a few days of practice won’t be the difference in making the Olympic team.

They're going to take over this board, ugh. I could not be a bigger fan of summer swim... it literally changed my life... but some NVSL parents that post here are truly nuts. Their kids must be embarrassed by them.
+1, I have a club swimmer whose love of swimmer started with summer league (not NVSL) and I cannot get over that there are adults fretting over whether their team can put together a legal 8 and under relay team early in the season.
I fret about it. Because when my kid was an 8&U making that team and doing it legally was huge. I remember the pride and the foundation for a love of swimming. If you don't have the kiddos that can do it, then you have just lost that experience for those four kiddos.
This is just crazy talk lady, listen to yourself. You are attempting to conflate moving relay carnival one week earlier to destroying the swim career of any/all non-club 8U swimmer. That's just goofy, it doesn't matter and you are attempting to make something out of nothing.
