[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is standard but at our pool the A meet swimmers can go to A meets and B meets. The B meet swimmers can only go to B meets. Shouldn’t the B meets be exclusively for kids who don’t place at A meets? There is a rule at our pool that if you placed in the weeks previous A meet you can’t swim that stroke only for that week but this seems silly, allowing these kids to dominate the developmental meets. Is this a standard rule? [/quote]
This implies that there is a static A and B team. In NVSL, there isn’t. A meets are seeded based on the latest and greatest times and you’ll have kids in and out of A meets each week based on the revised ladder. In our B meet league, you can’t swim an event that you swam at the preceding A meet and any events you do swim are exhibition, but the times count. This way, the whole team has a decently fair shake each week to be seeded in the next A meet. The B meets are both developmental meets as well as a chance to earn a spot in the next A meet.

Nobody at our pool refers to swimmers as “A” or “B” meet swimmers, but our team is also on the smaller side as far as the number of members.[/quote]
