[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We switched pools this year to one in a much higher NVSL division. I’m subsidizing those A meet swimmers financially, and then at busy B meets, I’m told priority goes to A meet swimmers and that my younger kid can’t swim. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes it hard to get excited about volunteering. I say this as someone who held several prominent jobs at our old swim team. [/quote]

Not sure I get this.  Are you saying that at B Meets, your kid is not getting the opportunity to swim b/c they are giving lanes to A meet swimmers?  And how exactly are you subsidizing the A meet swimmers? [/quote]

I don't understand this either. If it's true that they have limited entries at the B meets and given priority to A meet swimmers that's really obnoxious and I would protest. The B meets are designed for the kids who can't swim the A meets!![/quote]

This. The only restrictions our pool places on B meets is that 6 and under who want to swim breast or fly need a coach's permission (it's given as long as they are remotely close to legal) and you can't swim a stroke that you placed in at the prior A meet [/quote]
