[quote=Anonymous]If your DD is 8 and has no experience with swim team and no friends on the team yet, I would actually plan for her to not be in the team area the whole time and be hanging out with you. The older kids are definitely not hanging out with their parents, but given your situation I wouldn’t bank on that. The reality is that the MCSL B meets are really long. With a new swimmer I would plan on being there for the 1st part of the meet to start, the freestyle and backstroke (which not coincidentally are the strokes kids are most easily “legal” in) are in the 1st half of the meet. From there you can assess how feasible it is to also stay for the 2nd half of the meet (and whether your DD has a legal breaststroke or fly). Your team should also have time trials the weekend of June 8th, that is just your team racing each other to get times. That will also give you a good sense of what a meet is like and what is feasible for your family. [/quote]
