[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so interesting to me as someone with a 9 year old swimmer, who isn't in the DC area. It's a whole different world. As a team there are 3-4 overnight meets a year that DS could attend without qualifying times, and we even have an international one this season - although we are very close to another country so it's more exotic than it sounds. With the exception of our home meets, everything is at least an hour away regardless. Last season was his first and we did one travel meet and he LOVED the experience, didn't care at all about results. But personally I think getting experience in different environments, with different setups, etc., is invaluable. [/quote]

We are really spoiled here :) Especially for those of us mostly central in PVS area. For years, we never went anywhere further than 30 minutes, and our big championship meet was at the University of Maryland, where plenty of people in my neighborhood work!

Canada? I have heard of some of the Buffalo area teams hosting Canadian clubs, bet it goes both ways. [/quote]

Other side - Michigan, funny enough it will be closer than any other meet we go to the whole year, except for home meets. [/quote]
