[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]when States was introduced, it took many years for swimmers to really take it seriously.  Metros is still the king, but States is taken much more seriously than it used to be.  The kids swim really fast and sometimes even faster than at metros because the UMD pool is great.

regionals remains the dumbest and least liked meet on the calendar[/quote]

States the competition is a bit lower than Metros, but it is a fun meet and [b]kids swim way faster at that meet[/b]. It’s just timed finals so they don’t wear themselves down with a prelims, and coaches probably don’t back off the training enough for metros. They are better rested for states. Those factors combined with UMD being a faster pool leads to some crazy fast swims[/quote].

It would be an interesting analysis, but generally Metros is the faster meet.

In our experience, our training group only rested for metros and was ramped all the way back up during states.

Of course dreaded illness and “bad meets” happen, but especially among the top level MCPS swimmers, metros has faster swims. And Germantown is also a good pool, with familiarity that may help kids. I know my kids have several best times in Germantown, including metros.[/quote]
