[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short of the insane backpacks and a 30 person dinner, none of this sounds like a big ask for AS swimmers. AS is good for the entire team, whether you go or not. [/quote]

Why is it good for the entire team?[/quote]

DP. If a team has swimmers in AS, it makes the team look good. That said, the top division teams send quite a few swimmers, while lower division teams may only send 1-2 swimmers. [/quote]

It makes the team look good to who?  I'm being sincere.  To NVSL?  The other coaches?  Other parents?  And what is the point of this?  Bragging rights?[/quote]

To the pre-team parents and new families looking to join a swim team.  AS is the summer swim championship, so sending people there means you have top swimmers to whom younger swimmers can look up and ask advice. [/quote]

Yep. Mine aren’t AS level but I hired one for a few private stroke lessons for my young teen DS. Worked well for everyone and DS really focused on learning from someone he looked up to. [/quote]
