[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to derail but what does the PP mean by short course ends in March? We swim at Fairland but swim thru the end of May when we switch to summer pool. My kid is 10 so swims with the 9/10 kids. Birthday is June but not really relevant to my question lol. [/quote]

Many clubs swim short course through March and [b]then switch to long course for May-July, which has a slight overlap with summer swim. They're careful to schedule the June/July meets around summer swim, though.[/b]

As for birthdays and swimming, you can probably argue that any birthday is "bad" for winter swim depending on what kind of cut you've just missed.  My late September kid and my mid-December kid have been just fine in recent years.

OP, if your kid likes swimming, give it a shot! Look for a club with good technique instruction. My oldest was a really slow turtle for years. He'd drop a second here and there. Once he hit puberty and the testosterone kicked in, all bets were off. He's 17 now and a AA swimmer. He loves it.[/quote]

How does this work?  Are long course meets later in the afternoon?  Looking at the PVS schedule they are the same weekends as summer meets.[/quote]
