[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]
Right or wrong, it’s very common for Northern Virginia swimmers at least to prioritize their big winter club meet over the conflicting high school meet (i.e., many FCPS kids miss a high school meet to swim Winter Classic or KLI). I’ve never heard of a HS coach pushing back on this, not to say it doesn’t happen. Because most high school meet times don’t count toward USA Swimming, kids want those big prelims/finals opportunities to get cuts, drop time in the context of recruiting etc. It’s an imperfect system, but it’s the norm for a lot of kids.

Also people get sick, life stuff happens.

My kid's team has a couple of winter multi-sport athletes so they prioritize based on how each team works. [/quote]

A lot of the HS coaches are also club coaches. The club vs school conflicts are not foreign to them.[/quote]
