[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teams that are 95 kids? How the heck does that work for practices? How lanes does your HS team get?[/quote]

Not enough to have 95 kids in the water at once, that's for sure. I think four.[/quote]

Some of the 95 are dive and the club swimmers only go once a week so it should be fine. [/quote]

Is this Woodson with 95 on the roster?! How does it work if a freshman is faster than a senior -- do they swim the freshman?[/quote]
In general, yes. Swimming is a timed sport. They aren’t going to sit a faster kid just because they are a freshman and need to pay their dues. We have a fast freshman club swimmer on our team who is displacing a senior from relays, she’s just faster, it is what it is. There is some strategy though in terms of what events each kid should swim to maximize points. [/quote]

And it’s HS girls, so with body development times don’t always drop through HS. So it’s possible that the same girl who bumped a senior from an event her freshman year could be bumped by a freshman a couple seasons later. [/quote]
