[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DMV summer swim culture is so insufferable. To paraphrase the great Allen Iverson, “we’re talkin’ about rec swim time trials man, not a high level meet, rec swim time trials”. [/quote]

It is people year-round swimming strutting around the rec pools like they're something, primarily just making sure the rec swimmers don't get any pool time.  Oh, but if they lose, "It doesn't matter."  Yet, the travel club swimming somehow just isn't as fun, but then they don't go to the rec team practices most of the time, they go to the club practices.

You should choose one or the other.[/quote]

My year-round swimmer is on the younger side and _loves_ their summer swim team.  DC works extremely hard all winter to be able to raise their game for summer swim.  Are they supposed to hold back or skip meets so that other kids who prioritized other, different winter activities can "get pool time"?  Our team fortunately is supportive of all swimmers across the board, no.matter how serious or casual they are, and everyone cheers for all the kids.  No one gets extra events at B meets, and our coach actually puts kids into A meets who might not be in the highest spot on the ladder, to give them a chance when the team doesn't need points from them.  I'm not sure how much more inclusive the team can get.  And yes, DC practices with their club _and_ with the summer team.[/quote]
