[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the best swimmers on our team don't attend summer practices because they continue to practice with their year-round team over the summer (long-course season). Those swimmers still swim in the meets because they are the fastest, plain and simple. But, again, everyone should keep in mind that summer swimming is fun and ultimately meaningless. Swimming a bunch of 25s and 50s is not break swimming. [/quote] Mostly true, but I would not use the word meaningless. Summer swimming competition is community based, it has much a stronger sense of "A TEAM". My son swims at a PVS team all year round. Most PVS meets for him is to drop time or make a cut to JO or LC Age Group etc. A summer meet (dual meet) is really all about the team score (of course, swimmers care about their all stars standing etc), there is a strong sense of a unity and a pride of being a member of a team. That is perhaps the fun part![/quote]
