My apologies for uploading the Divisional and end of season files so late; I was hit hard by COVID the Monday after Divisionals and had a hard time getting out of bed the following week. I wouldn't say I'm "normal" yet, but I'm getting there. Complete results for the divisional meets are available at www.pwswim.org. There's going to be a complete re-write of the site "behind the scenes" this off-season. You can also download a full results PDF here. All meet results this season are being sent to reachforthewall.org and...

All the dual meets are complete and preparations for this Saturday's PWSL divisional meets are well underway. If you haven't heard from your divisional meet hosts, please reach out to them immediately; divisional hosts with any questions about meet setup can reach out to John for help anytime. Note: One week 6 meet did not take place because no venue was available to the teams in an appropriate timeframe. After consulting with league officials, the two teams swam separately at their own pools, but not in a "virtual meet" format....

PWSL week 5 is in the books - looking over the summary sheet, we had just under 3600 swimmers in the water this weekend; that's the most this season and back to our numbers from the end of 2018, closing in on pre-pandemic 2019 numbers. Hopefully a good sign for growth in coming seasons. No league records were set this week; the same records file has been carried over to week 6 and is available to download inside the Computer support tab on the site. A reminder for computer reps...

22 out of 24 teams dodged the raindrops to complete their meets Saturday morning; we still have one meet outstanding, but we've been told results may take some extra time, so we're pushing the summary and Cyber meet for the 11 meets we do have. Check the "Computer Support" tab later in the week for an updated Summary Sheet and Cyber meet. Complete meet results and top times are available at the league's live results site, http://www.pwswim.org/ All meet results are also uploaded to Reach for the Wall. Please see...

PWSL Week 4 is not yet complete. Due to Saturday's weather, a venue was closed on Saturday and the two teams involved have rescheduled their meet to Monday night. The good news, all other 11 meets dodged the raindrops and completed their meets, even though there were a few delays and some canopies broken by the heavy overnight rains. Results for the other 11 meets and top times so far are available at the live results site, pwswim.org, which appears to be back to full functionality - THANK YOU to...

One PWSL record was broken this week: Piedmont Tsunamis Girls 13-14 200 Freestyle Relay 01:55.6 M Richardson, S Traister, K Crown, A Sagle We're halfway through the season - the midseason wrap-up files and databases will be available later this week to computer reps. Computer reps can also find the new PWSL records file for week 4 in the "Computer Support" tab inside the league website. Enjoy a weekend off. The pwswim.org live results site has been revived! Thanks to Tony K and Josh, a Montclair parent and programmer who...

Two league records were broken this weekend: Piedmont's Camille Spink set a new mark in the 15-18 Girls 100 IM of 1:02.96; Wellington's Lionel Martinez has a new record in the 11-12 Boys 50 Free of 27.38. Computer reps can find the new records file in the "Computer Support" tab inside the league website. The pwswim.org live results site recently suffered a hack. We are close to regaining full control of the site for meet-day live results. As of right now HERE is a PDF of all the times in...

Welcome back to PWSL summer swim for 2022! We're all thrilled to finally have all 24 teams back in the pool and competing. For a sense of where the league is at, here's a comparison with last year and pre-COVID. Note that week 1 this year fell on the same day or the day after a lot of high school graduations and before school dismissed for summer. I'm interested to see what the end of season numbers look like as more kids finish spring sports and get in the pool....

Welcome to the 2022 PWSL season! Were currently dealing with two issues publishing this weeks results: first, one meet has times under investigation. I dont want to publish these times that are likely to be withdrawn. Second, The pwswim.org live results site suffered a hack recently .

Once all teams have submitt e d their databases eac h week, we'll also b e publis hing the usua l "cyber...

The PWSL's most unusual season yet ended with some nailbiters across the league's divisional meets. First place in the white division was decided by just 13 points, and Westridge won yellow division over Victory Lakes by 128 points. There were more close battles for second place, as Red, Blue, and Purple divisions all had less than 100 points separating second and third. League-wide, over 3000 swimmers participated in divisionals, 700 fewer than pre-pandemic 2019. 45% of swims were faster than their seed time. 16 teams beat 82 team records, and...
