[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swim teams are generally run by power hungry swim moms that have nothing else in their lives. Just keep your head low and stay out of their way.[/quote]

+1. And the ones at our pool also all have their kids in year round swim at the same place. They are only halfway nice to you if your kid is fast and even then its pretty fake. I think it was the very end of our first season or maybe even our second season when some nice mom (not in leadership) showed me where "the ladder" was on the website and explained how things worked. Otherwise no one explained ANYTHING. [/quote]

WTF is the ladder?

Never heard of it and we’ve been at it for years. [/quote]

Pools that are transparent about A meets post times and kids can either move up when they post faster times. [/quote]
I think this is a term unique to either your team or division. [/quote]

what makes you think that you are responding to just one person? I'm not one of the PP's but not the first to mention a ladder. Our pool has it. Our kids' friends who swim in the year round with them also compare their positions with each other at their respective pools during their morning club practices. If our pool didn't have one, I'd question how A meet swimmers are selected.  [/quote]
No where did I say it was one person. Maryland swim parent here and it’s just not a term used at our pool. They post times and just call them “Times”. Clearly other people also questioned it…no reason to try to pick a fight. [/quote]
