No rules or decisions were actually made at the meeting. The VFCAL swim League Representatives will meet over the next few months to review the comments, recommendations and suggestions that were made at the meeting and begin planning for a successful 2007 swim season.

The Sugarbears and Seawolves have jointly requested, that if July 7th is a BYE in 2007, that a dual meet with each other be scheduled for June 30th. If we are fortunate to have a fireworks booth again this year, we may hold our dual meet on July 7th in order to keep the June 30th date open and available for the fireworks booth.
