You have up to 180 days after you graduate to apply for a PGWP. You can apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) from inside Canada as long as you’re eligible. Starting September 1, 2023, eligibility criteria will change for certain programs at some designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Quebec.īefore you enrol, make sure you check the Details page for your DLI in the list of DLIs by province or territory. The crossover expanded her social circle and the other club kids became friends instead of names she recognized on a heat sheet.Changes to the post graduation work permit In my area there were three club teams with kids sprinkled across the local high schools. I didn’t have to deal with that, our HS team took everyone on varsity and the girls team never had more than a handful of year round swimmers. Quite a difference mentally to realize you are one of the fastest kids in your school as a 9th grader versus being a USA swimmer that isn’t a star. You will also see her confidence grow likely. In and out very quickly compared to the USA weekends. Assuming SC ended for you in Feb/March, no surprise LC looks “better” half a year later.Īnd have fun! I enjoyed as a parent very much HS meets. Generally faster long course times indicate weaker turns but an 8th grader training is improving all the time. I’d lean towards adding extra weight to the coach’s recommendation.Ĭonversion calcs are reasonably accurate. Lay out the pros/cons of each and then add in a kid/coach chat. If the varsity team is real strong, only qualifying in the 50 could mean a season of barely competing versus being one of the best on JV and getting 4 events every meet. I’d guess a reasonably competitive kid would like the prestige of varsity but it can be equally valuable being a leader on JV. Then lay it out for her to help her make the choice. Try to develop information on the depth of the varsity team (last year’s results who graduated? Who is entering 9th) and what their competitions look like (do they enter 3 kids in each event? no more than 4 events?) Do varsity and JV practice together? Do they compete as often? Many teams put more kids on their roster than can score which could be beneficial as a freshman because you get to practice with better swimmers which is good training, but it can be frustrating to not have a starting spot and only swim in unimportant meets while being on varsity vs being a starter on JV.ĭepends on your kid. So it depends on the size of the team, if the team is very large then they are looking for somebody strong in at least 2 events, if the team is smaller then they may take anybody who can possibly score in 1 event or contribute to a B relay. A swimmer can score in 2 individual events and 2 relays.
If 50m long course is her strength then I guess turns are what needs work.įor highschool (I think rules vary between states though) there is a limited number of swimmers that can be entered in meet. I don't know how any site does the conversion calculations but it seems to me conversions just average between swimmers around the same time, so a swimmer with better turns and underwaters will be faster at short course and swimmer with faster on top of water speed and endurance will be faster at long course. I can’t make the decision for her and don’t want to push her to do something that will make her unhappy academically. Yes, this is between her, her coach, and parental advice, and she is just starting high school.

The coach accepts USA Swimming times for qualifications.Īre these websites accurate? I used the following website:Īnother question since I’m already posting…should she consider being on varsity based on a single event or should she wait till she can qualify based on two different events? She qualified based on 50m free and is 10 seconds faster than JV qualifications for 100 y sc fly and 3 seconds slower than varsity. Based on her time, she just qualified for varsity as an incoming 9th grader. My daughter had a long course meter time at a meet about three weeks ago and I converted it on a web page to short course yards.
