[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you aren't competitive to win A meets, jockeying for position is missing the point of what you need out of swim team. Exercise and improve your strength and skill, and have fun with friends.. [/quote]

[b]I couldn’t disagree more.  Swimming in an a meet is special.  The older kids do things like chalk the younger kid’s driveway, carry them on their shoulders etc.  having a goal of making an a meet is a great goal for a summer swimmer.   Oh and they will also exercise, improve strength, and have fun with friends.[/b][/quote]

Agreed, I have a kid who is in a new age group this year, but was able to be top 4 in free and top 3 in another stroke last year.  They were the only non year round swimmer to swim an additional stroke and they also were on an all star relay.  That was really special to them - this kid only swims during the summer for fun.  This year at the bottom of the age division they were able to swim free in an A meet and they were very proud.[/quote]
