By Reach for the Wall Staff

After a one-year hiatus brought on by the pandemic, the National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) is holding their Spring Invite this week March 16-20. Due to continuing precautions, the meet attendance was limited to fewer than 50% of those that attended in 2019. Several teams from PVS were able to make the trip to Orlando including (in alphabetic order), All Star Aquatics (ASA), Machine Aquatics (Mach), Rockville Montgomery Swim Club (RMSC), Snow Swimming (Snow), and York Swim Club (York). The girls and boys sessions are being competed separately in the prelim sessions and will be combined for finals. This meet provides for 5 heats of each race in finals (except the distance freestyle events), allowing 40 swimmers a chance to swim in the evening session.

The NCSA Website has links to all the heat sheets, timelines and live video feed:
