| Have all alternates been notified if they are swimming at divisionals tomorrow? And what is the probability someone will scratch tomorrow morning? |

This is a Wendy's; in the whole league, 100%. |

It is pretty rare for an alternate to swim at divisionals. A swimmer would need to get hurt or ill, which is something that shouldn’t be hoped for!
Now for All Stars? There is more movement for alternates due to preplanned travel. |

| We've had it happen every year in NVSL Divisions 8-9-10. Sometimes they know early enough to call the next on the list. One time it was literally 'is there any 15-18 girl here with a suit and not two events who wants to swim?!' That time it was an empty lane in the end... |

| at this point all teams know who got the bid in spots. So not likely, but you really never know. |

| Our division just put in three alternates. (Double-digits). |

| I've seen it happen twice- once was a false start, and they let another kid swim. The other time I'm not sure what happened, but someone else jumped in and came in second, lol |

We did too, like two minutes before he swam! And he did awesome! |

| We had multiple scratches in our division this morning - a girl from another team drove over and jumped in and swam fly! |
