[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did summer swim last year for the first time. She had to be able to swim a lap of the pool to be on the team. Not sure why you need to prep a 7yo for this? [/quote]

Your pool might not be that competitive and/or desperate for bodies.  Some teams are overly large and simply do not have the lane space to take every kid.[/quote]

Can you cite some examples of pools that won't take a kid for the teams that compete in summer weeknight swim meets?[/quote]

Not OP.  But our pool Arlington Forest would put a kid on the mini-Tigers.  Most pools in the upper divisions have a mini program where kids are not quite ready for the full team.  Generally if your NVSL has a mini program listed on their swim site they have standards. A smattering of pools across varying divisions that have a mini program.  I wish more pools would do it so as not to have the doggy paddler/drowing child swimming a B meet and holding it all up.

Arlington Forest
