[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a swimmer on a HS team and she is saying that no one makes it who doesn't have at least a 1:10 in 100 free (women's). Not sure how accurate that is. [/quote]

For my kid's school it's 1:02. And yes, there will be cuts to get down to 30 girls, and yes some kids who swim club will be cut.[/quote]

1:02? Is this a local school - that seems very fast. [/quote]

Good 10 and 11 year olds are swimming that fast so it doesn't seem like an unreasonable cut for high schoolers to me.[/quote]I just looked at the psych sheet for our club meet this weekend and not a single 10 or 11 yo has a time that fast.  There are about a dozen 12 yos (co-ed) under 1:02, and less than half of the 13+ swimmers (35/100 women and 55/93 men).  I'm sure there are more elite meets, but that is a fast time even for club swimmers.[/quote]

Your meet this weekend is likely an open, with plenty of new swimmers and many that hardly compete.  1:02 doesn't even qualify for JOs / PVS Champs for a 12 year-old girl, so it's not crazy fast.  There are so many kids that fast- not just at elite meets, but even at mid-tier meets that don't allow NT entries.  [/quote]
