[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a D1 pool in NVSL. Almost all our Saturday swimmers swim year round. Our team does not win based upon what happens in the summer, it's all about the year-round training. At our pool, it is strongly encouraged to sign up for a program for the rest of the year. Only 6-9 swimmers per age group get to swim on Saturdays and you don't have much hope unless you swim year-round. This is well-known, though, so most swimmers go in expecting to only swim in B mets. It can be challenging if your kid only makes 1 Saturday meet because then they realize how much more exciting it is to be an A meet swimmer. Sometimes that motivates them to work harder and sometimes that makes them want to quit because it is hard to go back to B meets. [/quote] Omg, so pretentious. If this was my kids team I'd find another one. In my kids' league the B meets are super fun and even kids who only swim 'A' meets come to them - volunteer, cheer and hang out.[/quote]
