Not from the ones observing.  Those are mostly associate coaches.  We had an issue with the tryouts and the head coaches claimed to not be in the pool area at all.

It's really more about which hands you grease with private lessons or other USA swimming program you transfer from.

"Thanks for your email.  I completely understand your frustration.  I did ask the coaches that were evaluating the swimmers to try a dive if they had time.  Unfortunately, one coach misunderstood and took them off the blocks instead of the side as I had mentioned.  Diving off the side is all we would expect for anyone coming into our program.  We know there aren't opportunities to go off blocks.  I apologize."[/quote]

They have tons of kids trying out. It’s very impersonal.  The minis and juniors are big groups.  It gets more personal with seniors.  [/quote]

No, it's not, they give private tryouts for kids they tutor.[/quote]

Prospective Seniors in RMSC attend group tryouts like everyone else, ans the groups are not small. 
What you're probably thinking about here is something more like an elite swimmer putting in for a club transfer at the national-training level.  That is not going to look the same. [/quote]

This is what the RSFC director said, I was in the next lane when the instructor was offering kids they were tutoring to tryout and the parents of other kids who were in the same summer league as my daughter told me that is what they did, I saw their times nothing special, same mini program as everyone else.  They did it a few months before the open tryouts:

"Regarding the mid-season RMSC tryout, there were a small number of spots available due to swimmers aging up to another practice group.  Due to the very small number of spots available, coaches invited a mixed bag of swimmers to tryout, some of whom were new to the area and did not have the opportunity to tryout in the fall, some already in the RMSC program at another site, in addition to some who tried out previously and were not accepted but were thought to be very close to the threshold.  To make it more transparent on the mid-season tryout process, text has been added to the RMSC Information materials posted to our website with instructions on how to express interest."

EG they cheated fair and square.  I don't understand why they didn't just have them do open tryouts?[/quote]

Ok, Kramer 🌹 [/quote]
