Are travel swim meets worth the time for young beginners?

We are fortunately pretty centrally located to the meets our club has on the schedule, even the winter champs meet and JOs are only a little over an hour away and I’ve told my kid we will take her to those. She puts in the hours at practice so I want her to be able to compete in the meets she’s worked hard to qualify for. That said, I wouldn’t be opposed to a travel meet like the Hoki if I could just make a weekend out of it with the family, Blacksburg is beautiful this time of year!


We have been to the Hoki meet and it’s a lot of fun but you definitely can’t make a family trip out of it - there are prelims and finals sessions so you really spend all three days at the pool basically all day long and into the evening.

The November Hoki meet doesn’t have prelims and finals.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the December champs.
