If they are only hosting 2 meets wouldn't they want to host divisionals to make up the difference/add a home meet?

It’s a leverage play. And they’ll likely get what they want.

They know everyone else wants to swim in the fastest pool at Divisionals, which makes it an easy leverage play for them.

Oh that’s so sad. I know one of them personally, swimming seems to bring out the worst in what is otherwise a really nice guy.

Need the fastest pool to get your all stars in. You don’t want lower divisions taking the spots.

Div 1 wasn’t the only Div with some drama over hosting divisionals. In another division, another team insisted on hosting (and hosts every year).

Really? If there is a pool with 8 lanes, I would want them hosting divisional meets.

Even if they are the usually furthest pool from other pools

I thought people didn’t want to host divisionals. I know our team has for a few years but definitely doesn’t willingly volunteer! We just have the best space for it typically.

Our pool volunteers and we usually get it every few years. It's a huge money maker for the team when we get to host.

I think the edge/deck of the pool is just higher than a typical pool.

No, they’re not permitted in the NVSL. Tuckahoe has a high edge and internal gutters so it’s “fast” for kids whose times matter down to the tenth of a second.
