[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is depressing.  Why can't the winter swimmers have their own meets?  ...concerned my kids will lose interest if they're always B meet.  But I am happy to hear the B meets can be fun.  They certainly were at our last pool but everyone was in it together but every kid had a chance.  They weren't outdone as a matter of course by the winter swim kids.[/quote]
They aren’t outdone as a matter of course, they are outdone by kids who are working hard at their sport and practicing 4-5 times a week 🙄 The entitlement here is a lot. [/quote]

Winter swim costs a fortune compared to most other sports and it requires committed parents. We're fortunate that our kid who wants to swim winters can, but summer gets ridiculous when they're at the pool at 6:00 being coached by their summer coach as part of their club's summer program and then get another half assed practice at 8:00 with the summer team. If my kid is messing something up in a meet, their coach works with them at their club practice. The kids the coach coaches for club doing divisionals get a ton of work whereas the summer only kids get almost none. [/quote]
Year round with a big reputable club (unless you are in MoCo and swim with RMSC) is no more expensive than any other high level year round club sport. [/quote]
I meant that swimming with RMSC is less expensive than most other high level club sports if you are in MoCo.[/quote]
