Northern Virginia Swimming League Cancels Season Officially, But Unofficial Meets Might Go On The 2020 Northern Virginia Swimming League summer season has been canceled because of COVID-19, however, some unofficial competitions could still take place. The virus hit Virginia in March and wiped out high school and recreation competitions. States and governing bodies are making decisions all over the country about the summer seasons. “We feel profound sadness knowing the disappointment this will cause, but the decision was made to prioritize the safety of our participants, supporters and communities,” the Northern Virginia Swimming League executive board said in a statement that was posted on the league Website. If pools are permitted to re-open this summer, unofficial meets could occur on a case-by-case basis. “Depending on comfortability of the situation, that has already been talked about and could be set up,” Overlee coach Andrew Coons told the Sun Gazette.
