[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is a swimmer, there is always a birthday that isn’t as good.
Short Course Champs, PVS - March 20-ish
NCSAs - March 27-ish
Summer league all over the entire U.S.! - June 1st
Long Course Champs, PVS - July 20-ish

You know who has the worst birthday? Late Feb and early March birthdays. They get screwed for short course champs & NCSAs, and aren’t that much older at Long Course Champs.

If your child summer swims and plays travel baseball, a May birthday may stink for summer league but is awesome for travel ball.

FWIW, my child has an October birthday and is 9. And my child likely made All-Stars in two events today. [/quote]

Not surprising. Fall birthday kids do well in summer swim. [/quote]

OP’s child is 9.[/quote]

And probably older than 40 percent of the kids in the 9-10 age group. Obviously a strong swimmer. Strong swimmers do when regardless.

It’s the kids whose parents think they are good but really aren’t that get hurt by the “bad” swim birthdays. And then you have the kids who are marginal but look good only when they are older than everyone else because they have “good” swim birthdays. [/quote]
