Handbook
Each year, the results of the previous year’s competition, schedules for the
current year, league records, rules, directory information, and other reference
materials are published in a handbook of over 100 pages that is distributed to
families, coaches, officials, MCSL directors, and pool representatives.
The handbook provides a constant source of information and reference
data. Many families save their handbooks from year to year to have a
record of their children’s divisional and invitational swim results.
Copies of past handbooks are available for viewing in the MCSL archives at the
County Historical Society. Advertisements in the handbook offer the
League a means to defray publication costs. Rates for available handbook
