[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newbie question here.  DC just swam their first LC time that meets the standard for the PVS LC championship meet in July (youngest age group).  (We're new to anything outside of standard age-group club meets and invitationals.)  I assume it's up to the club whether DC attends that meet?  The time cuts actually seem pretty generous to me, so it's hard for me to imagine that every kid in PVS who has that time can/should swim that meet.  But if DC should be there, we will be there.  How do I know?[/quote]
Congrats to your swimmer. At that age, I wouldn’t feel like your swimmer “should” be at any meet; do what’s best for your family’s schedule. You will have plenty of years when you can’t. Regardless, yes, it’s up to your club whether they send swimmers to a particular meet. I’d think it would be on your LC meet schedule by now if it’s a meet your club attends. If not, no harm in emailing the coach or club to inquire. Not sure if you do summer swim, but at the younger ages, it’s a lot to swim LC championships the same weekend as A meets or other summer swim meets. By that point in the summer, the kids are tired, so what seemed like a good idea in May feels less so come July. 
I would imagine the converted times are indeed more generous, as fewer kids do LC (esp at younger age groups), so easier cuts ensures decent participation. Good luck! [/quote]
