[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So on our team we have a number of good 9-10s, really good.  The bench is deep with them that they will seed a few up and still retain the points in the 9-10 bench.

We seed two of our 9-10s up in 13-14 on a regular basis to grab points.  We have found that other teams often don't look at how we seed our swimmers and just go by the ladder.  Often surprised about our young super fast swimmers.[/quote]

If you have zero available 13-14 yos with times, like literally you have gone down the entire ladder and no one that age is free, then thats fine.
Otherwise, its trashy.[/quote]

I don't think it's trashy; however, it should be frowned on. It's the golden child syndrome/playing favorite.

We are talking straight time though.

Other sports can have subjectivity to them, but running and swim are just times.  You swim or run a distance in a certain time.  It is there for everyone to see.

I was always under the impression that summer swim was a dual beast.  A meets are competitive meets and the best are chosen.  B meets are the rec part of the team and for everyone to improve.  It sounds like many on here would like to treat A meets like a rec sport and not really competitive.  Kind of interesting.[/quote]
