Tell me about Swim Team

[Anonymous]

I think the point was to illustrate that even with a generous definition of narrow there wasn't a single swimmer in NVSL even close to meeting all the criteria one of the earlier posters put forth.

Funny because all the 8&u division winners in our league were posting consistently fast times in the weeks leading up to Divisionals.

If you really took the time to look that up then I can only assume you are in a different league. You also don’t have access to B times because they aren’t publicly available. There are also some kids in divisionals with NT for the stroke in question.

Reachforthewall has the seed times for divisional meets across multiple leagues. The events described above are easily verifiable or refuted. If it really happened, it would be so unusual that it would probably make the Washington Post.

You think it's that extraordinary that a kid dropped 6 seconds at Divisionals as an 8U that you can suss out the data? It's not going to have B meet times for the bigger time drop.

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

Those bigger time drops don't exist. The data is all there to show the seed times regardless of where they came from.

No it isn’t. I doubt you can look it up anyway, but what’s being talked about here is a six second drop at divisionals, with a bigger drop in two weeks prior to divisionals. I’ve never seen any of my kid’s A meet times listed and available anywhere but the PDF produced and made available by league. To verify this you’d have to look at so many different sources you’d have to be nuts to be that obsessive. It’s also on sketchy ethical grounds to publicly identify a 6 year old kid in form like this.

No one said it was NVSL. But I know you think that’s the only league around.

The poster everyone is doubting was referring to a brand new 7 year old with a 40 second time drop. A girl, who by their account went from barely being able to swim to almost making all stars in 2 weeks. I know it's deep in here but try to keep the stories straight.

Nobody's outing a 6 year old so stop with the hysterics, lady!

Here's the reality - if your kid is swimming A meets in the DMV, the times are a matter of public record, available on the internet. Just because you don't know how to find them doesn't mean they aren't there. If you don't like this, you should find another activity for your kid.

Isn't it interesting that the top 25m freestyle time this summer for a 6yo girl in NVSL, PWSL or MCLS is 21.58 seconds! That's fast!

Not to be outdone, for the 6yo boys in these 3 leagues it's 18.95 seconds which to me is just crazy fast for a 6yo!

There's a lot of info out there on the internet!

Have you even followed this thread? Yes, some posters with far too much time on their hands are trying to find times for a specific under 8 year old and reference them here. No I do not think that’s appropriate. It’s also not practical. We don’t even know which league or even if it’s in the DMV.

We're all going to find out who this girl is soon enough. She's obviously the next Lilly King.

But, back to the point of this thread -- notwithstanding the bragging and fantasy of several posters, OP's 5 and 6 year old are very unlikely to be participating in an A meets or dropping 40 seconds to make divisionals or any other such outlier, atypical nonsense... no, they will be in pre-team like the vast majority of other 5 and 6 year olds and they will hopefully have a lot of fun and make a bunch of new friends in the process.

Well read again. Just because another poster mentioned 7 year old girls in NVSL it doesn’t confirm anything. We still don’t know. Also if you read carefully the original poster about the 7 year old said that she was only swimming A meets in free and back when she had this huge leap. So unless she is in a league that publishes B meet times you won’t be able to verify this online. But carry on your witch hunt.

Those bigger time drops don't exist. The data is all there to show the seed times regardless of where they came from.

No it isn’t. I doubt you can look it up anyway, but what’s being talked about here is a six second drop at divisionals, with a bigger drop in two weeks prior to divisionals. I’ve never seen any of my kid’s A meet times listed and available anywhere but the PDF produced and made available by league. To verify this you’d have to look at so many different sources you’d have to be nuts to be that obsessive. It’s also on sketchy ethical grounds to publicly identify a 6 year old kid in form like this.

Nobody's outing a 6 year old so stop with the hysterics, lady!

Here's the reality - if your kid is swimming A meets in the DMV, the times are a matter of public record, available on the internet. Just because you don't know how to find them doesn't mean they aren't there. If you don't like this, you should find another activity for your kid.

Isn't it interesting that the top 25m freestyle time this summer for a 6yo girl in NVSL, PWSL or MCLS is 21.58 seconds! That's fast!

Not to be outdone, for the 6yo boys in these 3 leagues it's 18.95 seconds which to me is just crazy fast for a 6yo!

There's a lot of info out there on the internet!

Have you even followed this thread? Yes, some posters with far too much time on their hands are trying to find times for a specific under 8 year old and reference them here. No I do not think that’s appropriate. It’s also not practical. We don’t even know which league or even if it’s in the DMV.

Yes, I've followed the thread - it moves quickly but I'm going to need you to pay closer attention and keep up!

If you read everything, you'll know that in this instance, it is DMV, in fact it's NVSL and it's not a 8u it's a 7yo - it a little subtle and you have to read through everything closely but it's all there if you are paying attention! There is also other information one can infer once you look at the data but I'll leave that as an exercise to those so inclined.

Finally, you may need a lot of time on your hand to mine all this information but there are those of us who are comfortable in data sets and it all only takes a couple of minutes if you know what you are looking for, where to look for it and how to filter.

But, back to the point of this thread -- notwithstanding the bragging and fantasy of several posters, OP's 5 and 6 year old are very unlikely to be participating in an A meets or dropping 40 seconds to make divisionals or any other such outlier, atypical nonsense... no, they will be in pre-team like the vast majority of other 5 and 6 year olds and they will hopefully have a lot of fun and make a bunch of new friends in the process.

Well read again. Just because another poster mentioned 7 year old girls in NVSL it doesn’t confirm anything. We still don’t know. Also if you read carefully the original poster about the 7 year old said that she was only swimming A meets in free and back when she had this huge leap. So unless she is in a league that publishes B meet times you won’t be able to verify this online. But carry on your witch hunt.

Based on the rankings just above, it can't be MCSL either. There's no 7 year old girl who came close to breaststroke All Stars based on a big time drop at Divisionals.
