| The
Greater Richmond Aquatic League is
an organization of approximately 12,000
individuals, composed of swimmers, coaches, and
families, whose aim is to promote and
participate in the sport of summer swimming.
GRAL provides an opportunity for young
people to compete against others of their
own ability at various skill levels, in an
atmosphere of fair play and good
sportsmanship. GRAL consists of 28 teams divided into three divisions. Swimmers compete in one of five or six different age groups based on the event and their age as of June 1 of each year. In addition, four Time Standards are established within each age group (Novice, Junior Varsity, Varsity, and Senior Varsity) helping to reward and motivate swimmers of all abilities throughout the season.
