[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does individual swimmer performance at divisionals mean anything for team standing? Or is it only about an individual swimmer's rankings?

Curious about whether a coach is motivated to assign slots based on having the best overall outcome for the team or if slots awarded based on top swimmer's preferences only. (New family obviously, essentially wondering if strong swimmers in free or back who are only legal options for breast/fly could be asked to swim those, even if they'd rather do free/back).[/quote]

It does absolutely nothing for the team.  Honestly coached don't really care.  Fastest is put in and that is it - some prestige if you can get your kids into All-Stars and that is it.

Division rankings were done after the last A meet.[/quote]
Coaches make the ultimate decision though. I know of a situation in which a kid had one good race in a stroke and posted a time that was good for 2nd by a tenth of a second or so, but because that kid wasn’t consistently putting that kind of time down the kid in 3rd, who was extremely consistent, got the divisional spot.[/quote]

Wow, that is really terrible. On our team, the time is the time.  [/quote]
