[quote=Anonymous]If your child is swimming in dual meets (scored meets), then the goal is to earn points for the team. (My child is also a club swimmer which is far less team-points driven, so we get excited about helping toward a team score in summer.) If my child is seeded first, then my child tries to get first because those are the points the team needs. Last week, my child added 3 seconds to 50 breast. It didn’t matter because my child won and earned 5 points. It’s actually freeing *not* to worry about times and to think more about team contribution. This changes at individual divisionals and IAS, but most kids swim the best they can at divisionals anyway (barring something like illness, etc, that could set them back). [/quote]
