I agree. Circa 2018 we had different coaching staff that didn’t circulate a ladder or meet results and with a new 8U I had no idea that results for A meets were posted online. Therefore when my kid beat 35 other kids in freestyle at a B meet I had no idea they should swim in the next A meet. A couple years later I saw the results in historical data in the new app. They were seeded 3rd fastest in free and never got picked for an A meet.

Fortunately everything is transparent now.  [/quote]

That’s terrible.  [/quote]

And also fiction. Coaches want to win. They swim the fastest kid.[/quote]
This is one of my favorite things about swimming, the clock doesn’t lie and kids have a pure objective standard (times/champs cuts, etc.) they are working toward that isn’t impacted by whether Larla’s dad is the coach or Karla is the coach’s favorite. Not being transparent about seed times and the swimmers’ placement on the ladder undercuts all that. [/quote]

I think we should refer to it as a top times report. The ladder is what grannies use to exit the pool. You shouldn’t need to circulate the ladder. It’s bolted into the pool deck [/quote]
