[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a mid-division NVSL pool and our team never swims up unless there would be an empty lane. Summer swim is competitive, but it’s not about [b]parsing [/b]the rules for every possible advantage.  [/quote]

It's not parsing the rules. It's [b]explicitly [/b]allowed in the rules. See 2. POOL AND COMPETITOR ELIGIBILITY, Article IV (c)[/quote]

You are parsing the rules. Here’s how our team looks at it — the age group is 11-12. All three lanes should be filled by kids who are 11-12. If we don’t have enough 11-12s that week, a 9-10 or 8&u will swim up. But they would never displace an eligible 11-12 irrespective of times.

You don't seem to understand what the words you are using mean. Its literally called out as allowed.

"In team meets, except for the mixed age relay, swimmers may compete in their own and/or higher age groups. They may enter up to two individual events provided no stroke is repeated. They may compete in both the mixed age relay and one age group relay."

There is no parsing needed. [/quote]
