[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^i agree it evens out by high school, but most kids will have finished 3/4 of their under 18 competitive play time by the time the reach high school. That’s why it’s a hard thing. If a swimmer started at 5 and goes through 18, only 4 of those years are on an even playing field. [/quote]

I agree with previous posters, though, that there's no birthday for swimming where you never get your moment.  There's usually championship meets in December, March, and July.  Higher level meets in April/August.  [/quote]

Yep, and for age groupers there are also high level invitational meets in November and January.[/quote]

Kids in the 12 and under range sometimes qualify for big meets, much bigger than the local invitationals. [/quote]

Goodness gracious. I am talking about “big meets.” For age groupers. Your 10 year old is not qualifying for junior nationals, sorry. What meets are you talking about, exactly? [/quote]
