[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is that there needs to be a way to encourage summer only swimmers.  If they can't ever get into the A meets because of the year round swimmers, the incentive is gone.  That's why low key, small pools are fun because everyone has a chance to get into A meets.  It's a doable thing.  [/quote]

There is. It’s called doing well in your b meet swim. If your b meet time is good enough they will move you up. This is a seriously confused parent probably of a very young child. [/quote]

+1.  Hopefully as the kid gets older the system will make more sense.  FWIW, as a mom of high school swimmers, my perspective is that summer swim is one of the most fun, best value activities any of my kids have ever done.  My kids lifeguard and junior coach -- even the one who doesn't swim year round and mostly swims B meets.  The themes, friendships, mentoring opportunities are pretty great.  It is such a fun culture that I think is unique to this area.  As my kids are getting close to aging out, I realize how much I will miss these days!  [/quote]
