[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you miss any high school meets if you chose to swim on the high school team?

\High school sports are supposed to be prioritized over everything other than religious obligations. [/quote]
Club swimmers routinely miss a HS meet or 2 because of conflicts with club meets. [/quote]

Growing up not in the DMV, HS dual meets were almost always in the middle of the week not on Friday/Saturday.[/quote]
Unfortunately, here they are often on Friday/Saturday. I don’t think there is a single meet that we have on any day other than Friday/Saturday. [/quote]

Yep, that is the unfortunate state of affairs with pool capacity limits in the broader area.

One thing i dont understand is why can't FCPS and FCPA close the pools earlier on Saturday for those dual meets? Apart from my PVS meets, morning club practices, and FCPA swim classes in the morning, can they really not cloes the pool earlier at 2pm? 8pm start time for swim and ending at nearly 10pm. ugh.[/quote]

HS sports are not prioritized over club swim.

It’s hard to get a best time at a dual meet. Some of our meets start at 9 pm which is ridiculous. No one swims well that late on a Friday after all day at school and morning swim practice. Also, out local rec pool is so hot and the air quality so bad, we had 2 kids pass out at the last meet. [/quote]
