[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your team swim up kids in an older age group to win meets?  Ours does regularly.  We would win either way.

Just wondering.  [/quote]

[b]Question[/b] If swimming up swimmers was the difference between winning and losing a tight meet - would it be okay then?[/quote]

OP here, I dont' think it should be done.  I think unless your team has holes, kids should swim their age.  I understand it is my opinion. [/quote]

there are worse things than losing a swim meet.  I didn't think summer swim was like an AAU team, I look forward to it every year.  but I don't anymore.  And that bothers me.  [/quote]

Yeah, it's not surprising that swimming is on the outs.  I was talking with a parent the other day, he said look but it's so popular.  Well, that's because there are fewer and fewer pools and teams as time goes on.   I feel bad for my younger kid, because I am already thinking of ways to cancel `competitive*` swimming or whatever they call summer league these days.  Maybe they should call quasi-social-lap-swimming-and-pool-noodle-time-with-economic-social-hierarchies-and-punk-coaches.[/quote]

Um, MCSL has like 90 teams and something like 14K swimmers - and NVSL is much bigger than that.  And those are only two of the summer leagues in the PVS LSC region.  So if summer swim is on the decline I'm not seeing it.  Individual private pools may close if they need renovations that their membership can't cover, but that's a bit different from being "on the outs."[/quote]
