[quote=Anonymous][size=7] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with this but I will say for many kids it is still a meaningful meet. Some kids are close to sectional cuts and going for those. I’m not sure how you change things.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a joke of a culminating meet. Has to be one of the worst among the big USA Swimming LSC’s year after year[/quote]
Because this isn’t a culminating meet. The best Senior swimmers have NCSA in 2 weeks, so many are doing a reduced schedule at this meet and/or swimming off events. The cuts times are so easy and there are so many heats of finals that the best swimmers are qualified in all events and don’t have to push particularly hard to make finals. This is just a meet to get some racing in for those kids. [/quote][/quote]
I agree it’s meaningful for a lot of kids, but just not for the best of the best in PVS, which is why it has something of a watered down feel. There is the same issue at summer LC champs with Futures and summer NCSA being a few weeks later. I know the generous cut times make the meet more accessible for different levels of swimmers but I think the cut times need to be tightened up if you want this meet to have more of a champs feel.[/quote]

I would suggest not having bonus events as well. Or minimum times for bonus events.  They really slow the meet down. [/quote]
Case in point, this women’s 200 breast. This event is long enough as it is for people who aren’t breaststrokers to be swimming it as a bonus.[/quote]
