Any word on swim meets?

[Anonymous]

Has anyone’s club in this area given any indication as to whether or not the kids will have meets?

[Anonymous]

My friend who is a coach said it’s very unlikely there will be any meets this season.

I have heard that meets will not be happening this year. There was some talk of virtual meets, but they would not have official times.

RMSC said no meets for 2020.

Is this for just the rest of 2020 or first half of 2021 too?

The speculation is this will go into 2021 as well. I hope that there will be some meets in the summer. But I have written off fall, winter, and spring.

I'm not sure how kids will stay motivated with no swim meets.

Really?

Our club (MD Swimming, not PVS) said we will start having intra-squad and potentially virtual meets with other teams later this fall, hopefully in Oct or Nov.

We'll probably start out with non sanctioned meets first.

For winter/club swim, my kid is thrilled that there are no meets.

Does anyone like winter meets? Honestly my kids just want to swim and are happy to be able to do so.

The lack of meets will hurt the serious year around swimmers. Particularly the current HS sophomores and juniors if they aspire to swim in college. I have a senior and a freshman. My senior has many senior friends who have stopped swimming because they don't plan to swim in college so "what's the point of swimming this year with no real chance of a final HS season." The senior who already know they are swimming in college will continue for conditioning but it is difficult to do the grind of 20 plus hours/week with no actual goal to be working toward in the next 6 months. My HS freshman, would have been working toward JO cuts, sectional cuts, metro cuts etc. Those things do keep you motivated. I hope he will continue . . . but we shall see.

Agreed! No waking up at some ungodly hour to drive in outing rain to the back of beyond, to then sit in a steamy rec center for hours to see my kid swim at three events. He’s very to just be swimming this season.
