[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]

I don't have an opinion on this.  I see both sides. I get it is summer league, but it should also be about competition.  Teams should try to win if they have the ability.

I could see swimming up younger swimmers might be tough on them and put a lot of pressure on certain swimmers. But if you have some talented swimmers you should try to challenge them too, and swimming against slower peers might not do it.  But swimming them up might embarrass some slower older kids.  But I would think that a slow older kid getting blown out in an A meet would do that as well.

I don't think that any kid should assume that they have a spot just because they are a warm body on any team.  A lot of considerations here, and probably no right answer.[/quote]
