How many events of 2012 were common to the dual meet events of 1956?
ANSWER:
10 EVENTS or 8 EVENTS if 15, 16, 17 age group considered diffierent from current 15-18 age group. Note also, that in 1956, lifeguards were not eligible to swim (see complete 1956 rules in the DOCUMENTS section of the website under 1956 NVSL RULES).
