[quote=Anonymous]I think that the piling on of OP is a bit unfair, even if OPs viewpoint was perhaps a bit naiive. It's easy to see how it can be a shock to the system to move from a low-key pool to an intense one where the summer team is dominated by year-round swimmers. That said, OP's experience shows the solution -- there are plenty of pools where summer swim is not dominated by year-round swimmers and where everyone has a chance to swim A meets. Our middle division NVSL pool is one of them. We have a handful of excellent swimmers. We also have plenty of A team slots filled by summer swimmers (or kids who only swim occassionally in the winter). And the coaches make a concerted effort to ensure that kids get A team opportunities. At the end of the day -- at least for most kids -- summer swim is more about fun than about winning. OP would be best served by finding a pool that focuses on that aspect.[/quote]
