How did your NVSL Time Trial go?

What's the point of doing IM at time trials? Seems like a waste of time. We don't swim them in A meets. If kids want a time, they can do a B meet.

I think it is great and helps to see IM carnival.

Our team is huge so we don’t even offer IMs at B-meets until later in the season (usually at the expense of fly). It’s nice for the kids to swim IM before 9:30pm at least once before IM Invitational and Divisionals.

Agree with this. We only started offering it a few years ago and it has been great. Best part the stroke and turn can actually see them.

One year at divisionals we had all these IMs DQs. We are pretty high up so you would not expect that. But a number of B meets got rained out. So no opportunities.

started at 9:15. Ended at a little after 12pm. Did IMs. Top 100 team.

We run IM at time trials because we do not offer it at most of our home B meets because with two teams those meets already tend to run long. Also with Monday night thunderstorms it at least gives the kids a chance to get an IM in for sure during the season. Watching the little kids who are legal IM was so much fun because they were so darn cute and excited to do it!

We started at 9 and ended right around 12:20. I was working the table as I always do and it was CRAZY-town. So many messed up time cards, so many DQs, and many DQ slips coming in 5 or even 10 events later. Plus working the table with people who have never attended a swim event in their life. One of the most stressful swim volunteer experiences ever! And my own kid managed to do worse in every stroke than she did all year in winter swim.

We just had our first B meet last night though and it went extremely smoothly and was a lovely experience. All had a great time!
