[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole season is too early now. It is conflicting with spring Rec sport end of season. That didn’t used to happen. [/quote]

With school starting well before Labor Day in NoVa now, what are the options?  We’ve established the true nutters don’t think anyone should travel during summer swim.  So you want 2 weeks of the summer anyone can travel?  Get real.  Things overlap.  Pick your priority.[/quote]

Holding the All-Star meet on the first Saturday in August also creates a conflict with the Eastern Zone Long Course meets.  There were a number of NVSL all-stars who swam in both meets last year.  They would have to choose if the All-Star meet were a week later.[/quote]

This is a small number of kids so no offense who cares.

The bigger issue is giving all families to have some time to travel.[/quote]
It’s a smaller number of kids, but generally there are a lot of club swimmers amongst the All Stars, so Zones is a consideration. Let me guess, you’re one of the parents that hopes faster kids can’t make it to All Stars so your kid has a shot. [/quote]

I genuinely don’t give a shit about All Stars iand spoiler, the vast majority of  people participating in summer swim don’t.  [/quote]

Oh and to be clear don’t care about “Zones” either.

Parents with the year round swimmers really need to recognize it isn’t all about you and your kids.  In most divisions, the A meet swimmers don’t need to be swimming year round or are doing it very lightly.

I actually think that most of the ridiculousness about summer swim is driven by the non-year round parents. I have a club swimmer and yes my kid participates, but summer swim is pure fun for her. It’s the parents of kids who don’t swim the rest of the year that are overly invested in things like 8 and under relays, making All Stars, and who is 13 but swimming in the 11-12 group. [/quote]
