Long Course Season Meets Minimum Requirements

Due to the tendency of Long Course meets to have low enrollment along with the costs
for staffing a meet, VAC has instituted standardized policy to use as a guideline with
respect to activities during the Long Course season.

  1. A minimum of 12 swimmers is required for a meet to warrant coaching staff
    coverage. Failure to meet minimum required attendance will result in VAC not
    signing up for event and/or canceling attendance and refunding applicable fees.
    1. Policy can be overridden by majority board vote with recommendation by
      head coach.
    2. Individual swimmers wishing to attend unattached without VAC coaching
      in attendance can override policy with head coach authorization.
