[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me how swimmers are picked for Divisionals? My son barely made A meets all summer (sometimes he did and sometimes he didn't depending on who was in town), so I assumed that there was no chance he would swim since he couldnt make the top 3 swimmers, let alone the top 2. But we were told he is an alternate. Do teams have 3 levels deep of alternates? Are there different rules for the number of events a person can swim at Divisions vs a typical A meet? Isn't it just the top 2 kids in each event? He's no where close to that. [/quote]

Each kid can only swim at most 2 events. And IMs are added for divisionals/all stars. If your child is the 4th fastest swimmer in freestyle, but the first and second fastest swimmers choose not to swim freestyle, your child can swim it. It all depends on what the faster swimmers choose. [/quote]

Ah, thanks. Maybe it is the IM that makes the difference. It seemed impossible that if my son couldn't make a regular A meet that they would qualify for divisionals, but maybe since they add an additional event it shifts everything around.[/quote]

If teams can’t fill their spots other teams can bid in swimmers. That could make a difference. [/quote]
