[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids drop by 15-18 because all races are 100yd, except for fly.  Which is tough if your kid is not a year round swimmer. [/quote]

What league does this?  NVSL is all 50s so there is not much advantage for year round swimmers compared to those that do not. It is funny watching my athletes that do not swim surpass their club swimming teammates after week two. [/quote]

My kids are in NVSL too, and your kids are not typical.

You know that the year round swimmers have a massive advantage even in 50s, even if they are athletes.  One of my daughters went to the state championship in her chosen sport but may or may not make any A meets this year in our mid-division team.    She still does swim team to hang with friends and as a fun activity, but she has no chance against the year round swimmers. [/quote]

I think it depends on the sport.  But our runners/track kids tend to catch up once they start swimming because their cardio is great.  My kids are club swimmers but 50s are short sprints.  Advantages are to those that are taller. [/quote]

Lax/basketball for my kid, they've never had trouble making every A meet by midway through the season at the latest. They start off down the ladder because they haven't swum for months when time trials occur and are still missing swim practice for other sports, but once swim shits to morning, the catch up fast[/quote]
