We warned, though, that they can get bumped at anytime in the season if someone beats them in a B meet.

I mean beats their time. Obv, your kid won't be swimming the A meet stroke at the B meet.

Obv you don’t know what you’re talking about. Depending how your child places, she may be able to swim the stroke on Monday’s b meet, too.

There are different developmental leagues within the NVSL, with varying rules applying to A meet swimmers swimming in B meets.

This. Our team only has a few kids in some ages so they swim both.

Why be so rude? Many ways to say that in a nicer way.

A meets are more enjoyable for the parents because it is actually competitive.

For the competitive parents, maybe.

I had kids on both the A team and the B team on one of the most competitive NVSL teams. I hated every swim meet and went only for the kids. The parents were awful. I am so glad it's behind me.

Lol how were the parents awful, most are busy wqtching

Main thing is to remember that A meet participation is fluid....you may swim three strokes one week, and not qualify for any the next.

How’d it go, OP?

My kid is swimming in A meets. But we are a division N pool lol…. So it’s great but she’s not really all that great.

Not surprising from a swim parent. Some are really nice. Others are like the above. For our pool, whatever you swim for the A meet, you CANNOT swim for the dev meet. If someone beats your Sat time on Monday night, you are out.

Biggest thing is to make sure your kid is in the right place before their heat.

That is kinda stressful! In our league you're allowed to swim an event at the B meet if you didn't place 1/2/3 in that event at the A meet. This is always interesting in 8 and unders because sometimes kids who aren't too fast will still place 1/2/3 in breast or fly because half the heat DQ'd, and then not be allowed to swim that event at the B meet even though they really aren't that great at it. Other times the A meet will have some fast swimmers on the opposing team, and a kid who is also pretty fast gets edged out for 4th place but then gets to swim that event at the B meet and crushes everyone. Just luck of the draw!

Not necessarily! You can have slow kids in A division A meets and fast kids in N division meets. We are at a middle of the road team and have a swimmer that regularly swims at Coaches’s Long Course and All Stars.
