[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pissed.  The entire season is team first without a doubt…you swim where you are needed and you don’t complain.  There is zero team element in NVSL Divisionals.  It is about placing high as an individual and trying to be top 18 to make All Stars.  So yes the fastest kids in each event (can only do 2) should get first pick.  Selfish and rotten move by the coach and team reps.[/quote]

Totally agree. I would also be pissed if my kid with a top time that they earned, was pushed aside at divisionals just to give another kid a chance to swim divisionals. B meets are where kids get a chance to swim regardless of time.

Now I can see maybe doing this if there is an age group where moving kids around means the team won't have lanes they can't fill, but this mostly happens when the kids they are moving will likely finish low anyway. But still if a kid really does not want to move events they should not have to do so.

And no there is no formal complaint process through  NVSl as they have no rules oh now coaches have to pick swimmer for meets. This is something you could take to your pool board.[/quote]

+1. NVSL Divisionals are individual. The ladder should be followed and higher ranked swimmers given first choice. However, at our pool the team reps and pool board members almost all have slower swimmers who barely make half the A meets, much less Divisionals so it’s not like they would be inclined to care.
