[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The meet is the swimsitting championship. It is for the family’s who subsidize the majority of each club’s payroll for the top. You need a forum to let these swimmers feel part of the team, feel part of group, and to justify that thousand of dollars and hours spent each year chasing the gold are really worth it. [/quote] Kids in this meet have committed to swim at D1 and ivy league schools AND have secured some best times. Others are recruiting as juniors and have secured some excellent times. Just bc it is not a higher level meet does not mean it fails to provide significant value to a wide range of athletes. [/quote] Thank you, PP. Parents of the "super fast", please just relax and don't spin up about being in a meet with the "pretty fast". The amount of anger you have for this meet is bizarre. It's almost like you resent that the "pretty fast" are getting an opportunity to be in a champs meet. I promise you it doesn't affect your "super fast" swimmers and their NCSA or Zones or whatever it is that you deem more worthy of your time.[/quote] You’re an idiot if you look down on any meet. Katie Ladecky Broke her own record in the mile at a brand new meet with a bunch of “kids” swimming as her competiton in 12/2026…and became the first woman to swim a mile in under 15 minutes. Looks like she would disagree with this stupid thought![/quote] That's kind of a bad example. She skipped this meet when she was a teenager. She went to the December meet last year because they renamed it FOR HER. (It wasn't a new meet, really)[/quote] Y or N: she broke the record at a meet that was not a high stakes meet, zero competition for her (not Olympic level athletes), not officiant’s officiating where they time and in unison approach the edge of the pool together) [/quote]
