[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know why this was moved?  For our slow pool, moving it a week earlier is much worse since it is less time for the 8 and unders to learn the stroke, especially with school getting out late.

Is this a one time move?  Or is the idea now to make it the second week of the season?[/quote]

Calm down Janet.  It's 1 week and in reality makes no difference at all.

NP. It does make a difference. NVSL is run by older types that have become quite removed from little kids or teams that are not made up of record breaking kids that swim club. [/quote]

No it doesn't - not materially.  It's a week, not a month and all the teams are dealing with the same constraint.

You swim with the team you have, not the team you wish you had.

Moving everything up so as not to have anything NVSL impacts the team.  There is less practice time and more conflicts with school events.  Teams that are made up of club swimmers, it doesn't impact them greatly.  It does impact teams that need several weeks to get kids back in shape.[/quote]

My point is still as valid as when I first made it above - It's not a month, it's a week and 1 week does not make any material difference whatsoever.  None.  Zero.  Zip.  Nada.  It changes nothing.  If you think that a week will suddenly make all the difference between outcomes of teams heavy w/ club swimmers vs. those without, you really don't understand how things work.  Everything will be exactly the same, it will just happen a week sooner, that's it.
