We had multiple families try to join our team based on their club times and get upset that they would have to get on the pool's waitlist.  They thought there was a cut the line policy for fast kids.[/quote]

Not sure if this is true or trolling, [b]but many teams looking to move up divisions will move families with top club swimmers up the waitlist. This is reality (so don’t complain about line cutting), but shouldn’t be demanded by a family. It’s a conversation to be had discretely with the coach and reps. [/b][/quote]

This cannot be true.  What the absolute hell?  That shows lack of sportsmanship and not in the spirit of summer league.  Also if coaches have to pad their roster with ringers, that shows poor coaching and not working with the talent you have.[/quote]

It absolutely is true. Rules prohibit recruiting, but line cutting isn’t recruiting. [/quote]

What NVSL or mcsl rule prohibits recruiting?? [/quote]

None in NVSL. Only requirement in NVSL is that the swimmer is a member of the pool for which they compete for.

See page 68 of rule book.

Article IV – Competitor Eligibility
“An athlete whose Family has a bona fide membership at an NVSL
pool, established by the pool bylaws or other governing documents,
shall be eligible to compete for that pool in League activities.
“A. An athlete whose Family has more than one bona fide NVSL pool
membership is eligible to swim for only one pool and to dive for only
one pool during each season. League Rules Committees may, for
good cause shown, grant an exemption to permit a family to swim or
dive at a second pool during the current season.
“B. An athlete with individual swimming privileges at an NVSL pool,
rather than Family swimming privileges, shall not be eligible to
compete for that pool in League activities.
“C. An athlete whose Family membership at an NVSL pool does not
provide dive competition may dive for an NVSL pool that provides
such competition pursuant to its pool rules for dive team participation.
“D. Transparency - Any and all decisions on determination of eligibility
issued by the League Rules Committee under this Article shall be
made available in their entirety upon the request of any Member Pool
Team Representative.”
