[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child enjoys the team aspect, I would say yes, go to a travel meet. Much like travel tournaments for other sports, the benefits of a travel meet are 1) team bonding, 2) family bonding, 3) rising to the pressure of a multi session day - usually there will be morning prelims and afternoon finals, 4) being inspired to swim fast in a “big meet” with unfamiliar teams in an unfamiliar setting, 4) feeling motivated to work hard at practice and set higher goals after the “big meet” experience. In my experience, #3 and #4 definitely made it worth it. [/quote] I agree with the list, but still wouldn't spend the time or money before 10 at least. [/quote]
