[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a team rep for an upper third pool in NVSL.  Our pool does not recruit.  We have a waitlist and take from the surrounding neighborhoods.

I was shocked the number of Club parents that reach out directly to join our pool and tell me that I MUST take their swimmer because they are so fast and then they send me times, etc.  I explain our waitlist, etc, and they don't seem to get it.

We have also experienced quite good swimmers from upper divisions wanting to "come down" to our pool so their kid can swim A meets and be a star. This confuses me even more, because those upper divisions are not doing a great job with their non- A meet kids.

We have had a few of these types get on our waitlist and make the switch to our team.  The swimmers still are not dominating A meets but they get into them more than they would have done at their previous pool.[/quote]

Top third is not top. Top one or two divisions is top. [b]There are also pools where the coach brings in their own winter swimmers to fill out a team.[/b] [/quote]
