[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]York has fun social events that other teams may lack.  For 11-12, they have a Halloween party and team bowling. They also do a travel meet to PA that is a lot of fun.

Once they are 13 & over, they have a senior lock in, Hokie travel meet, senior retreat - all lots of fun if your kid has friends on the team.

All kids can participate in these events regardless of their swim times. [/quote]

Probably a lot of teams are similar. FISH age groupers just got back from ISCA (St Pete), there is bowling and a few other events. [/quote]

Isca is not really the same.  That’s a very competitive meet with difficult time cuts.   (York went there too).  The meet pp referred to is a much more casual fun meet with no time cuts.  York does a big team dinner and the kids have a ball playing with friends in the hotel.   [/quote]

For teams who have done the meet before, any of their swimmers can do 50s and 100s of every stroke + relays at ISCA. It’s a lot of fun for the kids: team dinners, beach day, etc. [/quote]

I don't think you are understanding.  ICSA is a competitive meet with cut times to enter.  So not every swimmer is getting in and not a BB swimmer.  Although ICSA is not as competitive as NSCA (which is for faster swimmers) it is still not a meet for everyone.  Most meets are fun (at least for my kids) and competitive meets tend to be really fun to motivate.[/quote]

YOU don’t understand. If a team has done ISCA in the prior years, the meet is open for all of their swimmers for 50s, 100s and relays. Said another way:  if a team did ISCA last year, they can bring all swimmers who have made zero cuts and they can swim:
50 free
50 back
50 fly
50 breast
100 back
100 free
100 fly
100 breast
100 IM
Every relay

What you are saying contradicts the isca meet announcement.

Isca is fairly generous with allowing bonus events, but to swim in an individual meet you need to have at least one qualifying time.   The time cuts appear to be between a-aa times which means to swim in that meet you are in the top 8-15percent of swimmers in at least one event nationally.

Comparing isca to the Lititz meet York attends is just silly.   Even setting aside the time cuts (which is a sig barrier) Lititz is a couple hours drive on a weekend, open to the whole team, and a ton of swimmers go(approximately 140 this year).  Isca is in Florida requires plane tickets and a willingness to pull your kids out of school for a week.  Looks like fish took 26 kids to isca this year and York took 44.

You guys are actually both right.

You are each talking about a different ISCA meet.
