[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We joined our NVSL team when it was D14 and now it’s D1. I don’t notice much of a difference except that I hear one benefit in being at a more competitive division pool is being able to go to all star relays for example - the higher division team, the more teams have many good swimmers to
likely qualify etc.

It always seemed fairly competitive to make A meets at our pool even in the lower divisions - I guess because we were rising.

We have had the same (particularly good) leadership on the team the whole time, and I can imagine leadership makes a difference.

This is our neighborhood pool so we would be at it at any division - the most important thing to me is all of the kids friends from school being there. [/quote]

Serious Q…has it been demoralizing being crushed in all the meets so far this summer?  Or everyone is having fun and no one cares?

I’m not PP but we are on OKM. Honestly, we begged the seeding committee to take Crosspointe instead of us. Are we having fun? Yes. The culture hasn’t changed. Our kids are swimming quite fast. And many of our swimmers are in their down year. Just look at our 9-10 girls, who qualified a fraction behind LRR in the medley at 5th with three nine year olds, while T, O, and CB had 1 or 2. A 7 year old broke our 8U fly record. A good number of our A meet swimmers aren’t club swimmers. On the other hand, one of our swimmers went to Trials but still made it back, with one day in between, to swim in his summer league meet. That speaks to collegiality. Still, we hope we go back to D2 next year. I think the better team to ask your question is DR or Highlands.[/quote]
