[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s funny because even when it was called JOs no one thought it was a path to the actual Olympics. It was just a meet with cut times at the end of the winter season. Everyone knew the actual super fast kids were going to Zones and NAG camps when younger and Jr/Sr Nationals and Trials as they got older. Maybe parents could trick other non swim parents into thinking JOs was a big deal?[/quote]

You sound like a jerk. Ps - plenty of kids who don’t make zones and NAG camps make national cuts when they’re older. Puberty happens and some kids really begin to excel after they grow.[/quote]

Omg ya’ll are reading way too much into it. I never said kids who aren’t super fast as age groupers can’t be fast later, or that super fast age groupers never slow down or flame out. I was one of the late bloomers myself. I just remember [b]silly parents[/b] being like “my kid made the JUNiOR OLYMPICS” when all of us swimmers understood where that meet falls in the grand scheme of things. It’s a great goal to set and achieve cuts but so many steps away from actual Olympics. That’s all I meant.

Why so defensive though? Your kids will learn a ton of great life lessons from swimming regardless if they make the Olympics or if (formerly known as) JOs is the highest meet they ever make. [/quote]

lol just be happy for them[/quote]
