The NVSL is the largest summer swim league in the United States with 102 teams and over 17,000 athletes.
The stated goal of both NVSL and NVSL-Dive is "...to develop in the children participating in its program—a love for the sport, advanced aquatic skills, teamwork, and the principles of good sportsmanship."
The league's motto is to promote "A love for the sport, advanced aquatic skills, teamwork, and the principles of good sportsmanship."
The NVSL Individual All-Stars swim meet is a competition between select swimmers in each age group and event.
Cards are pulled for additional swimmers in case either of the alternates or multiple scratches are made.
Divers are allowed to compete through the summer following their graduation from high school NVSL-Dive hosts the annual Cracker Jack Invitational.
At the 2009 meet, which was hosted by Truro in Annandale, Virginia, 354 divers (218 girls and 136 boys) competed.
The first Cracker Jack Invitational was held at Freedom Park and attracted approximately 600 divers.
For many years, this meet was hosted by Overlee pool in Arlington, Virginia, and moved to Cardinal Hill in Vienna for 2007 and 2008.
Col. Wallace R. Martin arranged for the meet to be held at his home pool, Tuckahoe, in 1968 and then again every year thereafter for the rest of his life.
