[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the logic of Divisionals and All Stars being different from the rest.

Divisionals and All Stars should be the opportunity for kids who love summer swim to shine.  Instead they seem to be opportunities for club swimmers who invest very little in summer swim to show off.  [/quote]

“Invest very little time in summer swim”? What is the basis for your statement? Our team club swimmers are highly involved in summer swim, leaving high, high level meet prelims sessions at championship LC meets to race back for a summer league meet, only to then race back for LC finals. Our club swimmers even ensure to travel back after out-of-state meets to be there for the A Meet. None of this is because they need individual summer league accolades. They come back to help the team. I don’t recall a pep rally or team outing where all our club swimmers did not attend, barring illness.[/quote]
Come on. I know of no swimmers doing high, high level meet prelims, then a summer league meet, and then going back for finals that night at the high level meet. There are plenty of high level club swimmers that participate in and enjoy summer swim but none do the craziness that you just described. [/quote]

Well, they do on our team and on the team we competed against on 7/15. And our swimmers who have been competing out of town have absolutely come back sooner than they probably would have to compete at our A Meet.[/quote]
