A PENNSYLVANIA NON-PROFIT CORPORATION

An Independent Age-Group Swimming & Diving League in the Suburbs of Philadelphia

"The aim of our organization is to further the growth, development & progress of
Swimming & Diving; to teach good sportsmanship and to aid teams in furthering
aquatic interest in league participation within Bucks, Chester, Delaware and
Montgomery Counties of Pennsylvania."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GENERAL INFORMATION

The Suburban Aquatic League is an organization of Age Group swimming and diving
clubs in Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania (Suburban
Philadelphia). Currently, the SAL is composed of more than 20 teams and is
organized into four geographical divisions. The league is comprised of a season
of dual and championship meets, with dual meets generally beginning in early
November, and the season ending with the championship meet in February. All
participating clubs field boys' and girls' swimming and diving teams. The league
is run by parent volunteers according to the SAL Constitution. The mission of
the SAL program is to develop skills in the sports of competitive swimming and
diving; teach good sportsmanship; and provide a means of healthy self-expression
for those participating. Those interested in participating should contact the
leaders of the clubs in their area (see the League Directory elsewhere on this
web site) and visit the web sites of any participating clubs in their area
(links to club web sites are provided on the Home Page of this site)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DESCRIPTION OF SAL MEETS

CROSSOVER MEETS

For Divisions with an uneven number of teams, the first weekend of dual meets
each season consists of crossover meets, crossover meaning that opponent teams
are from different divisions of the SAL. Dual means that the meets involve teams
from two clubs. Teams scheduled as crossover opponents had similar records
during the previous season.



Note: Crossover and Regular Season Meets are sometimes "Double-dual" meets,
meaning that the boys and girls meets are held in the same pool and at the same
time.

REGULAR SEASON MEETS

The bulk of the season consists of five dual meets. Each team swims and dives
against all of the other teams in the same division of SAL.

FLIGHT DUAL MEET CHAMPIONSHIPS (DIVISION AND LEAGUE DUAL MEET CHAMPIONSHIPS)

The flight dual meet championships are divided into two meets: dual meet
conference championships and league dual meet championships. First, the dual
meet conference championship opponent is the team in the same place in the other
division of the conference. The winner of that meet move on to compete against
the winner of the other conference in the league dual meet championship. The
runner up of the conference dual meet championship competes against the other
runner up in the consolation league dual meet championship. Note: Athletes must
have competed in at least 40% of dual meets as a swimmer and/or as a diver to be
eligible for flight dual meet championships.

LEAGUE AND DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

League Championships is the league individual championships where only
swimmers/divers with the top 18 times/scores (plus 2 alternates) in the entire
league in each event are eligible. Coaches notify swimmers/divers of their
eligibility for Leagues Championships before a league seed meeting which occurs
following the League Dual Meet Championships.



ALL swimmers/divers are eligible for Division Championships (but cannot swim in
events for which they qualified in League Championships and there is a limit on
the combined number of entries for both Championships). The Division Swimming
Championships are divisional: each division holds a championship meet. Swimmers
are seeded according to their best times for a particular event. The Division
Diving Championships are usually held at one location with the results for each
event determined by division.

Both championships are individual competitions only (No team competition)

Note: Athletes must have competed in at least 40% of dual meets, as a swimmer
and/or as a diver, to be eligible for League Championships.

INVITATIONAL MEETS

Throughout the season there are a number of invitational meets hosted by SAL
teams. These are often held on Sundays and are open to any league member. There
is a small fee per event and (as always) a limit on the number of events that
can be entered. Swimmers may choose the events in which they swim. These meets
are considered "extras" by most teams, which are entirely optional. Invitational
meets are sanctioned by SAL, meaning that times from these meets are considered
in the seeding for championships. However, participation at these meets does not
count toward the 40% rule. Most invitational meets require that swimmers or
divers sign-up to swim or dive in the meet 3 or 4 weeks prior to the meet. Team
reps receive information about these meets from the host team.
