[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is depressing.  Why can't the winter swimmers have their own meets?  ...concerned my kids will lose interest if they're always B meet.  But I am happy to hear the B meets can be fun.  They certainly were at our last pool but everyone was in it together but every kid had a chance.  They weren't outdone as a matter of course by the winter swim kids.[/quote]

I am sorry you find this depressing. Kids who swim year round LOVE the ease and fun of summer swim, including the fast paced A meets. Those kids deserve those A meets. Club swim is not nearly as fun as summer swim, and many kids count the days down until summer swim starts and they start to shine for a few weeks each summer before returning to the grind in the fall.

If your kid thinks[b] winter swim is a grind [/b]and they can’t wait for it to be over why on Earth are they doing it?  God what a depressing childhood.[/quote]

My two LOVE LOVE LOVE swim.  When they don't have practice they are bummed and bored. They enjoy how they feel afterwards and love their coaches.  They have a love/hate with meets.  They like the racing but hate how long they are - if they don't get a lot of meets they get upset.  Summer swim is different though, it is their love.  They are complete die hards for their team and would never want to join another team.[/quote]

Are you the PP though?  I am not asking why kids do winter swim.  I know kids who love it.  My kid does a sport I would hate, but he loves.  I am asking why someone whose kid thinks it’s a grind would make their kids do it?[/quote]
