[quote=Anonymous]Swimming A meets looks different depending on the size and prowess of your team. For example, our team is so deep, my 9 year old — who is the top of the ladder in a few events on our team in her gender/age bracket — would not make the A meet in 50 free. The better measure is look at the top summer league (let’s say 50, but even 100) in your child’s age bracket and gender to see where your child’s times compare. If your child will be 11 very soon, look at the age 11-12 too. If they are close to some of the times, they are probably ready for 3 hours per week. If they we not, start with 2 hours with the option to move into a 3 hour/week group. Also, many practice groups are very different in terms of hours in the pool. Some NCAP sites are 3 days/week but only 1 hour per practice. Some Machine sites are 1.15 or 1.5 hours/practice, which may amount to the same amount of time in water, as compared with NCAP, even if your child only goes 2 days/week.[/quote]
