[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes OP, you should switch pools.  Our team doesn't do an[b] A meet and a B meet. I think that would suck and cause the B kids to feel badly about themselves.  We have different heats, and yes the faster kids are in the first heat, but all the kids swim together at every meet.  [/b]

We switched pools too because I didn't like the other pool. We went there 3 years trying to make friends or even just chat, and never could.  We aren't bosom buddies with people at our "new" pool, but after 3 years on swim team and volunteering, I can have a good chat here and there.  We both WOTH, so it is a big time commitment, but I just love to see my kids swim so well.  They swim way better than I do, and that makes me happy.  [/quote]

B meets are the only way most kids get to swim.  NVSL regulates swimming in VA and team entries at A meets are limited to 3 boys and 3 girls per stroke for each age group.  That would confine swim meets to a very small group of kids and not give others a chance to rise to the A team.

And if you don't want your kid to feel badly for being on the B-team, you're going to have a very difficult time living here.  [/quote]
