[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be interested in seeing a ranking of Summer teams broken into two groups -- pools with waitlists and pools with immediate memberships available.

There are pools with 3 and 4 year waitlists, so unless their BoD allows shenanigans, there's no transferring or recruiting happening at those places.[/quote]

Or, you could accept that this is a summer league, kids want to swim with their friends, and parents want a positive and welcoming sport environment.

It’s not a competition for parents and club boards. [/quote]

I think you missed my point. I think its likely that the majority of teams with immediate openings and Club coaches who bring swimmers with them are in the top divisions and the teams with waitlists where the teams are all neighborhood kids who are friends are in the middle divisions. And that's why people claim the middle/lower divisions are more fun.[/quote]

I think you’re getting the causation wrong.  The club coaches encourage promising 7-8 year olds to join club swim and then they turn into strong 10 year olds.  We’re at a pool in a top division with a club coach, and that’s exactly why we have a strong team.  All the kids are from nearby neighborhoods.[/quote]
