[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is a year round swimmer who always gets in A meets it might be nice to have your kid skip an A meet at some point just to give other kids a chance. Maybe one against a team your team normally beats easily. Like plan a trip or something for that weekend. My kid is turning out to be an A meet swimmer and I think it kind of works out that we will be out of town for at least one A meet because it will give some other kids a chance. As a former year round swimmer I remember some of the resentment thrown my way by high school and summer teammates because they hardly ever saw me at practice but I was always top seed in my events and on relays at the meets. In retrospect it would not have hurt at all to miss a summer league meet or two each season just to open up spots in the lineup for someone who feels like they’re never going to get a shot. It’s something I’m going to keep in mind if my kid sticks with swimming and stays an A meet swimmer. If we end up having a conflict some weekend I won’t go out of my way to prioritize the swim meet.

Or you do practices and participate on team.  They should require 2-3 practices a week to compete. [/quote]
