Cheverly will be an A Division team in 2025.

Our team has some very talented kids and they are centered around 8-10 year round swim families. That probably is not a unique issue. Can team divide into divisional squads?

You have a valid point. Fortunately for the Dolphins, we also have many great swimmers on the team that don’t swim year round. Still, I get that you wish to have opportunities for the more average and novice swimmers. The team has grown a lot in the last few years. There are growing pains that will be worked out, likely sooner than later.

Just a few short years back, we were a D Division team, and though those meets were great, the B Division meets have been way more exciting. I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised next season.

How many kids are on each swim team is what you're asking? It varies widely by team and division. I think Adelphi had about 180 this year.

We are in a lower division and had about 55-60

I think Cheverly had slightly over 200 this summer season. A good chunk don’t swim at every meet due to summer trips, other obligations, etc.

Bumping this bc I’m curious about next summer and curious how the division seeding is decided. My team flips between B & C for no rhyme or reason that I can see.

At divisionals today I was bored and looked at top 25 times and was shocked to see a Division C team with a lot of girls placed in top 25 times across events & most age levels but nobody thinks they will go up (likely go down) because they only have a few boys ? They have 11-12 & 13-14 girls that would place high top 25 in the 15-18 times. So I’m interested in the methodology.

It's some mystery computer program that no one understands, something like it runs a meet using every team in the league's times from the previous season and this produces overall power rankings. I dunno if it takes into account 18YO swimmers from the previous year not being there or ages people up or anything, though.
