[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts on whether or not Olney is easier to get into than MLK. 9yo girl with slow A meet times. Thanks. [/quote]
I think in general Rockville and KSAC have been the hardest to get into. The difference between Olney and MLK will come down to the number of 8 yo minis who will be moving up to juniors at each site and taking slots, and the number of kids in juniors moving to either advanced juniors or aging up to seniors. It is easier to get into the big clubs at 9 than it is 10, because there is more runway to get used to year round swim and improve before the age up to 11-12s. The jump from 10 and under to 11-12 is a big one that is often difficult. My DD started year round at a big club at 9 and had never raced 50s other than freestyle, but was legal in all 4 strokes and was already a good breaststroker so I think she made it based on potential. Generally a club will take the 9 year old over the 10 year old if they have similar times/abilities. [/quote]
