To miss a HS meet for an open meet or a non-invitational club meet is a big no go.
A big no go from who? Top club swimmers routinely prioritize their club meets.

Top club swimmers will prioritize big meets. NCAP Invite, RMSC Holiday, TYR Pro Swim Series and a few other big time meets. But a high level high school swimmer is wasting their time going to January Open. And if you check the results, the high end kids aren’t there as a general rule.

Anonymous wrote:Our HS (MCPS) meet is on Saturday morning so having the PVS meet in the morning wouldn't necessarily eliminate conflicts. My kid will swim HS in the morning and a PVS meet in the afternoon. But if they were in conflict the kids just have to pick one or the other. My kid would probably miss the PVS meet on Saturday and swim it just on Sunday but I can see others making a different choice depending on if they need to make certain championship cuts.
