Some are average and some are above average and some are excellent. Just like all of the teams.

D1 teams are just well organized and have more people. They don’t sub in the team rep’s kid or let as much politics integrate the line up. They use numbers and logic.

Excellent is a stretch. There are better swimmers in the "lower" divisions.

That is just rude. The poster said that the swimmers in D1 are a mix of average, above average and excellent. A quick glance at the leaderboard confirms that. People just like to hate on D1 because they are D1 which is stupid.

Good but now we have the long wait to find out who is going to All Stars because we can’t move into this century and do things easier/smarter.

Yes, but you’re merging results from 17 discrete meets. I’m not saying you couldn’t automate that part, but it’s a little more complicated than folks are suggesting. Also, the reps do NOT attend that meeting, just the DCs.

Our first time. When will the results be announced?

I’m assuming they didn’t meet last night so it won’t be until after they meet in person this evening. Gotta love living in 1956.

Why the rush?

Have you never been a kid waiting excitedly for something? Especially bc the rest of the swimming world operates with real-time results.

Except that all the time cards are hand written and results are all manually entered, which results in mistakes that are found and need to be corrected.

Wouldn’t this be the case at any Saturday meet though?

And Swimtopia doesn’t do this automagically?

Not all teams use Swimtopia.

NVSL leaderboard means nothing, especially ages 13+. Two things. First, top tier swimmers are only swimming a couple of summer meets per season due to club meets. Two, division 1 swimmers are suited for every meet, and lower division teams are not.

They have more depth so they can field more competitive relay teams.

Our D5 team has 200 swim team kids, roughly 70 in meets. What do the D1 numbers look like?

My kid is D1 and neither of your comments are true. Can you enlighten us a little more about stuff you know nothing about?
