Good evening Torpedoes Families,

As we are quickly approaching our first meet, we want to ensure all necessary paperwork is completed in a timely manner. If your swimmer is switching from another team in the Prince Mont Swim League (PMSL), it is mandatory to fill out a Team Switching Form. Additionally, we want to remind you of the swimwear regulations and the requirement for a suit waiver if your swimmer needs to wear a swim shirt during a meet. Please see the rules below and the links to the forms on the Prince Mont Website.

PMSL follows USA Swimming rules for eligible swimsuits, which include the following:
1. Swimsuits for men may not extend above the navel or below the knee and for women may not cover the neck or extend past the shoulders or below the knee.
2. No zippers or other fastening devices are allowed, except for a waist tie on a brief or jammer.
3. Suits must be of textile material and must not be made of any rubberized type of material such as polyurethane or neoprene.
4. The swimmer must wear only one swimsuit in one or two pieces except it is permissible for the swimmer to wear a single set of garments underneath his or her competition swimsuit for modesty and/or privacy reasons.
5. Waiver requests for medical, religious, or other reasons must be submitted to the League President at least 72 hours prior to the swimmer’s first meet.

League-Team Switching Rules:

a. Each competitor must be a bona fide member of the Pool or Club they represent during the current season.

1. Competitors may represent only one team in PMSL competition in any one season
2. A swimmer that desires to represent a PMSL team who has represented another PMSL team the previous season may do so with the provision that he/she cannot switch teams again within a two-year period. Allowable exceptions are covered in paragraph 3), below. A team-Switching form must be submitted by the swimmer to be eligible to compete. (A form can be found on the league website)
3. The only exceptions to the two-year rule of paragraph 2) are:
a. the previous team has withdrawn from League competition; and
b) a change is made in the swimmer’s residence.
b. If a swimmer is claimed by two or more teams, or any related protests arise, the matter shall be adjudicated by the President and Board of Directors.
