[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have crappy summer coaches everywhere.  Unless your kid is getting AA-AAA type times, don't expect to swim A meets as a walk on at an A division team.

"Shopping" summer swim usually doesn't make a lot of sense.  Strangely, a stronger swimmer may shine more in a lower division team as they will win more events, be a core of the team, etc.  But you shouldn't rely on coaching for summer swim to make any dramatic improvements in technique or stroke - there are simply too many kids in too short a time to make meaningful changes.  As other people said, summer swim is about junk food, cheering in the sun and hanging out with friends.[/quote]

That’s very much an exaggeration.  We are A division and plenty of swimmers with BB-A times are making A meets, particularly in free where there are more slots.[/quote]

Yep, there really aren't that many AA and faster swimmers to go around in the youngest age groups.  10&u boys need to be 29.79 or less to be at least AA in 50Y free.  Right now in all of PVS, there are only 18 boys who are still 10&u who have met this standard.  And, many of them are in Northern Virginia, not Montgomery County.[/quote]
