[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often does something like this really happen where a top swimmer in their age group really jump to a new pool?

Seems like it would be a pretty rare occurrence in the NVSL and as other posters have mentioned probably good reasons to switch.  Otherwise they would have stayed.[/quote]

It happened this year with Tuckahoe, but I am *absolutely not* suggesting it was anything improper. Likely, it’s a family who finally got off the waitlist. But it did enhance their 9-10 girls group.[/quote]

It happened a few years ago with an 8 year old girl who jumped to a top (D1-D3) team from a mid-division team. That girls group at the new top-division team was also enhanced. But with an 8 year old, I’m sure it was nothing improper either.

Several years ago, like maybe 2018-2019, a mid-division, very small NVSL team all the sudden got a bunch of top Makos swimmers (like swimmers who now are D1 swimmers in college). It was kind of crazy because these swimmers left two or three different NVSL teams and joined this smaller NVSL team, then that team moved up 7 divisions. [/quote]
