Updated Division Assignments for the 2021 Season

MCSL, or the Montgomery County Swim League is the summer swim league in Montgomery County. It is the league that Garrett Park participates in. After last year(2020)'s season was cancelled due to the coronavirus, MCSL has already committed to having a competitive swim season. However, due to the waiver that they obtained from the county, some pools were not able to participate in this season. Therefore, MCSL had to update the division assignments that were assigned at the end of the 2019 season. Garrett Park is still ranked 6/6 in division J.

What's different?

Most teams were able to continue in the 2021 season. In fact divisions A-J were not affected by any teams that could not participate. However, there are 4 teams that are no longer in the division assignments list. The 4 teams are:
  • Carderock Springs was originally ranked 1st in division K. They will not be participating in this MCSL season it seems, or at least they are not on the updated division assignments. According to their website, "For the swim team, we will be doing an "in-house" league this summer - operation will be within our pool capacity and will follow social distance guidelines as indicated by MoCo." It seems like an in-house season means that they will only be conducting meets with their own team, so they can have more athletes. 
  • Clarksburg Town Center is not listed on the division assignments list. They had been in division L. However, documents on their website make it seem like they are participating in the season.
  • Willows of Potomac had been in division L. On their website they say that due to their pool not being able to meet those social distancing requirements, they will not be able to participate in the season. They will be having swim clinic instead this year.
  • Middlebridge had been ranked 1st in division O, however it does not appear that they will be participating in the season. There website mentions that they are having fitness sessions.

MCSL Season Up In The Air

These updated division assignments were released, but they soon may be irrelevant. The county is rescinding restrictions very quickly, and MCSL may be updating their season based on this. According to their website, the Executive board met yesterday to discuss how to move forward, and they will be sharing more information with team reps later in the week. When the season does start, there will be a slight change in the order of events. This happened before the pandemic, however there is also new events for the 19 year old age group this year.


What do you think about the upcoming MCSL Season, or the updated division assignments? Let us know in the comments below.
