So for three years running our team has not been able to keep B meet partners. We also only manage to get four when I am now realizing most teams have five B meets.  For example from last year to this year, we have kept only one B meet partner.  We are still relatively new to summer swim, but is this normal?  The other nearby pool seems more consistent with their schedule (we are on a few other waitlists because of vibes at time at our current pool).

If you are not in a B meet league, do you keep your partners?  What reasons do you not?[/quote]

Our club is only doing four B meets this year, in past years.  I think we may have only had three on some years, maybe even only two last year due to rainouts.  We do one or two "intra-squad" meets.  The thing is ours is a very large and competitive club.  Many of the nearby teams won't feature kids in the later meets, so it doesn't really make sense to pack up go to go swim in a shallow(slow) pool that no-one is going to improve their personal best at, just to swim against other kids from our team.  Many of the better swimmers skip out on the B-meets for this reason, even if they are eligible for some off strokes.[/quote]

I’m assuming this is either Tuckahoe’s or chesterbrook.  Both of whom are known to struggle to keep b meet partners. [/quote]

We've had a B-Meet with Tuckahoe each of the last three seasons. Haven't finished a single one on account of the 1980s style line brawls. [/quote]

What is a line brawl!?[/quote]
