[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. It’s a pmsl division a team. There are a couple b team meets this summer. As I said, I am completely new to this so I’ll see what the coaches advise. Was just hoping for some feedback here but it seems team dependent. [/quote]

At our mid-division MCSL team (relatively small pool), my 6yo son was on the team last year and there were about 20ish 8&u boys who were "on the team" (in that they showed up to practice at least a handful of times) and a smaller cohort of 12-15 who attended practice regularly. My son definitely was not fast enough to swim in the A meets so we skipped all of those, but he swam the strokes he was even close to legal in at B meets and had a really good time. He had a really great time and was really into trying to lower his times, and the B meets were a great experience (also a big plus to have them in the evenings when the weather is warmer and you are not having to peel them out of bed in the early morning). As others have said, every team may be slightly different and no one knows your kid as well as you do, but I fwiw based on my experience in a similar situation last year I would encourage you to sign your kid up for as many B meets as you can swing because my kid really enjoyed them.
