• Week One is (Finally) Here!

  Fri, 6-19-2026 | On behalf of the Executive Board

  After a busy offseason and preseason, we are so excited that our Week One Dual Meets are HERE! We can't wait to hear the team cheers, hear the quiet of the crowd as the competitors take their marks, and hear the splash of the water as the swimmers dive in. Saturday morning swim meets in the NVSL are a tradition that is more than 70 years strong. Thank you to all of the volunteers who make our meets possible, we literally cannot do it without you! Best of luck to the swimmers and coaches who have been working hard to be ready for competition -- swim fast, have fun!!

• Location Change to New Starter/New Referee Clinic 6/14

  Sat, 6-13-2026 | The Officials Committee

  Due to a mechanical issue at Rolling Valley, the NEW STARTER/NEW REFEREE clinics scheduled for Sunday June 14th will now be held at Old Keene Mill pool. The clinics will run from 8:30-10:30AM.
  
  Thank you for your understanding.

• Officials Update

  Tue, 6-9-2026 | On behalf of the Officials Committee

  All briefing cards for officials have been reviewed and updated as needed for the 2026 season. You can find them under "Docs" >> "Deck Officials" >> "Referee-Starter-S&T-RTO."

  Please note there were some technical rule changes made by USA Swimming in the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 that the NVSL is adopting for the 2026 season. The changes have been incorporated into the briefing materials and you can also find a document in the Referee-Starter-S&T-RTO folder that identifies the specific changes made.
  
  Thank you to the literally HUNDREDS of officials who have already attended a training clinic this spring! Thank you for time in getting certified or recertified, and for serving as an official for the NVSL. We still have upcoming clinics: Ref/Starter clinics this Sunday June 14 and Stroke & Turn clinics on Wed June 17. It's not too late to get certified in a new position or recertify!

  You can verify which clinics you need to attend by checking the Attendance Spreadsheet and the Qualification Procedures in the Deck Officials folder. The spreadsheet is updated periodically so don't worry if you attended a clinic this weekend but don't see it reflected yet.
