Fairfield County Swimming League

FCSL 2026
This summer we are instituting a few rules to address the issue of forfeits:
1. For WP Div's 2 and 3:- 6 players (5 field, 1 goalie) are the standard number for each game. If both coaches agree to use 7 players, that is OK as well.
For WP Div 1:- 7 players is standard, 6 can be used upon agreement of both clubs.
2. In the final standings which determine moving up or moving down a division, forfeits will be included in the winning percentage.
3. If there is a tie between two teams based on winning percentage which determines advancing or moving down a division, number of forfeits will be considered.

Formal Proposed WP Rules Changes link here being trialled in 2026 season. Changes in red font.
