A lot of times when planning a swim meet and choosing events for the swimmers to participate in can be tricky. You have to think ahead and be able to plan the point you can receive to be able to come on top of the meet. If you have numbers on the team, you can…

setup. During this period, I couldn’t help but notice that some swimmers, especially new members, were not getting as much attention in activities and workouts. In high school swim meets, I learned, points are earned based on the order that swimmers finish. Throughout the season, my coach and my Co-Captain Tan always prioritized the fastest swimmers, spending the most time with them, banking our team’s success on a handful of swimmers. I was watching this process with dismay, and when we…
