This. I thought there was software that ran projections[/quote]

Cool! I was waiting for someone to say (not sarcastically) that ChatGPT/AI would do the work.[/quote]

Colonial Swim League has had a tool on their website for at least a couple of years now. You choose the two teams and it spits out the optimal lineup based on times from previous A meets. I don’t think it will use time from time trials, so not as useful for the first A meet.[/quote]

NVSL has that too, but it isn’t super helpful in seeding the first meet because swimmers have aged up, it’s been a year since NVSL times, and (we are in D1) all the A Meet swimmers are club swimmers (except possibly some 8Us) so they improve rapidly. Recent club times matter quite a bit. This year, there are swimmers from D1 at Olympic Trials, so that’s a bit messy with the planning. D1 swimmers typically schedule vacations around A meets (it’s actually in our parent notice, which seems insane when looking from the outside in). [/quote]

I call BS on the idea that D1 swimmers (multiple from a team) are at Olympic trials- unless they are spectating.  PVS lists the swimmers from the potomac valley who have qualified for Olympic trials, its not that many, and several of them are older than 18.  https://www.pvswim.org/athletes/2024-Olympic-Trials-Qualifiers.pdf

Of those who swim in the NVSL and are still eligible to swim this summer (e.g. 18 or under)
one swims for Great Falls- which I think is division 10.
one swims for Fairfax, Division 7.
one swims for Old Keane Mill, new to D1 this year.
one swims for Arlington Forest, division 9.

I know a D1 swimmer who is at Olympic trials for a sport other than swimming.[/quote]
