[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lasting impact is because this is a sport where the smallest margins matter. Having a lower seed, outside lane, slower heat, makes a huge difference when the competition comes down to .01 In addition to that, this was a week where most things were cancelled. My son isn't an elite club swimmer, but is a very good high school swimmer. He didn't have practice all week. He made didn't make regionals cut time - but will be in due to being in the top. He was very close though and knowing him, given an extra day and the knowledge of needing the extra push, he would have gotten it done.[/quote] Saying it makes a “huge” difference is a bit of an exaggeration.[/quote] NP. 0.01 is huge. Ask my swimmer who missed the State cut by that amount. Or the boy trying for the school record who also missed it by that much. If you are a swimmer or understand swimming, you understand the issue.[/quote]
