Why do women/girls almost always swim first? |
What do you mean? It’s usually the opposite with boys swimming first. |
Oh, I blanked on that! At Super Sectionals in Richmond girls ate first. |
Girls are odd number events and boys are even numbers in club swimming. |
Ladies first! |
And both summer and HS swim are the opposite (at least NVSL and VHSL are) so it evens out. |
My favorite meets are the ones where all events run as mixed gender heats. Even better if it’s mixed gender and age. Everything runs so much faster. A few of the prelim/finals meets run as mixed prelims, which shortens the session. This was new to us when we moved from ny to a mountain state. |
MCSL and MD high school boys first too. |
In our experience club swim / winter meets always had girls first but summer swim / PMSL always had boys first. |
