[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] Looking at some of the PVS meets on the site - It looks like meets were Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and all day Sunday. So, yep, they were not Saturday morning.[/quote] Exactly, the PVS LC championship meets are typically all day (prelims/finals) Thursday, Friday, Sunday, with distance Saturday afternoon. The PVS LC open meets are actually one meet's worth of events broken into two Sundays in June. [/quote] Oh, except the fastest one (open age, faster QTs) is a full 4day meet. My kids' group usually doesn't focus on this meet, so they may swim one day of it and it's not Saturday. The fastest HS kids are focusing on a travel meet - futures. NCSAs, zones, etc. [/quote]
