Some parents are just obsessed and monitor all the kids, which is creepy and take the fun out of swimming.

I think a lot of parents actually want to move down divisions where it will be more fun.

It's not much more fun in the lower divisions. There are two types of parents, those who have club swimmers that are pushed to win (so that the team wins A meets), and those whose kids swim only during the summer and don't care about winning meets. This creates a bit of a tension and can tear a lower division team apart.

What about Kentlands after going 5-0 in F Division?

My money's on Kentlands going up at least to E. Hard to say who might replace them in F, though.

Compare CG to RF/WM. They beat those teams every week. They will be in A next year.

What about DT, they can also beat teams like RF and WM, and even proved that they could beat CG. So will RF drop and CG go up?

Its more fun if the lower ranked club swimmers get to swim a meets.

Not Darnestown?

Darnestown beat Country Glen in the Relay Carnival and Dual Meet

Both teams could move up

Doubtful. River Falls struggled but they’d still beat up on anybody in B. A Division is just light years ahead of B. I’ll bet one team jumps up to take Potomac’s place and that’s it.

The place where it always gets interesting is D-F. Teams are all interchangeable there and there’s usually some weird and significant movement.

I don't know how big most teams are, but I think you could split the rays (200 swimmers) in half and have two 100 swimmer Division A teams.

Your kid probably still wouldn't swim A meets and whose going to pay for that? Normal is 150-250 swimmers. 100 swimmers wouldn't work with A meets.

Its the same team regardless of the division. I just wish they'd make a requirement that you have to go to 2-3 practices a week to do a meets. I don't get why you sign up for team just to do meets.

Both CG and DT could go up. A good chance WCF does as well.

B and C will be good divisions.

A will continue to be no fun. RV >> SB, SG >> WM >> RF, and one of DT and CG.

I am betting DT instead of CG. Also PO to C, MCF to B.

PP. meant they are at the same level.

RF v DT should be close.

The rest of the meets in A will not be close.

The 6 teams in B and the top team in C are all close enough in level to make the meets fun for the swimmers.
