Very toxic [/quote]

mcsl is very strange.  A gazillion kids join their pool's team and then a few lucky ones get to swim in the meets?  Who, other than the ringers would bother doing this?  Why are the "A" meets so restrictive? While all the "commoners" go to a few pity meets.  We're in a different county and TG its not like that. Everyone competes at the actual meets.[/quote]

I'm curious what league you swim in.

But this is not the how I'd describe the experience at our MCSL pool.  The B meets on Wednesdays are very much meets and run in the same manner at the "A" meets on Saturdays.  It's not uncommon, at least at our pool, to have more spectators cheering at a B meet than an A meet so in that regard, the tables are completely flipped.  B meets can be a little longer since there may be more heats to accommodate everyone that wants to swim but other than that, it's run the same as an A meet.  The B times are all entered into the computer system and I can actually look up times from my kids B meet swims from years ago.[/quote]

B meets are fine for most kids and esp little kids. The system is kind of unfair for kids who may be very good swimmers but happen to have a couple of stars in their age group at their pool.  The A meets should have time standards that, if met, guarantee entry.  [/quote]
