This year the head coach will not attend evening practice at all which has raised concerns among parents whose kids only swim in the evening and will they be considered for A meets. Several were A meet swimmers last year.
Swimming is an objective timed sport, if the swimmer has one of the top times in an event they will be considered. I know people love to talk conspiracy theories about summer swim and A meet selection but 99% of the time they are just going off the ladder, not who attends practice at what time or any other nonsense that people suggest.

Sorry, I meant June 12, not July
I was the one who went through all 100 teams and looked at their schedules. Sometimes you have to look carefully at the fine print to find the evening practice schedule. Frequently they do not put it in their table. Sometimes it is just one or two nights, sometimes it is only one night per week. Certainly it is not the same as morning, but I believe the OP was asking about evening practices generally, not those commensurate with morning practice. Hope this helps!

McLean has evening practices in the summer. I can’t remember if it’s 2 or 3 times a week. It’s definitely not the same, but helps if kids can’t make mornings.
