[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

This is literally in direct contradiction with the meet info page:

BONUS EVENTS
 [b]For 1 or more qualifying times ............. You earn 4 bonus events[/b]
Bonus events must be entered with a time. NT will not be accepted. EVENTS OVER 200
YARDS MAY NOT BE USED AS BONUS EVENTS.

INDIVIDUAL ENTRIES: Entries should use a time in the national database that is [b]faster than
the qualifying time [/b]and achieved during the qualifying period. Swimmers may enter using an
“Override Time” for times that are not in the nationaldatabase. Override times must include
the meet name and date. Override times that cannot be proven by the Entry Coordinator
during the entry process will not be seeded in the meet. Times that are missing from the
National Database should be requested through the host LSC National Times Coordinator of
the meet at whichthe time was achieved.
