I’m at a d2 pool that does this and I guarantee the majority of the team doesn’t like this. Would love an open vote.  Of course some do.  But no one has ever asked me about it.  And my kid doesn’t lose a spot.  But I see how it affects those that do[/quote]

Almost every d2 pool has done it this year. It's not unusual at all for the higher divisions.

Keep in mind that for every older slower kid that doesn't get to swim in an A meet, a younger faster kid does. [b]I wouldn't want to be the one to explain to the faster younger kid and her parents that she doesn't get to swim because a slower swimmer's mommy complained.[/b] [/quote]

NP, and I've got no dog in this fight since our team only swims kids up in individual events if there would otherwise be empty lanes so my kid isn't affected, but you could easily just reframe the bolded.   It's not that the kid isn't swimming because a slower swimmer's mommy complained, it's that she's not swimming because *she's* the slower swimmer *in her own age group*.  Even the youngest kids on DCs team understand this.

Except she is, objectively and factually, NOT the slower swimmer in a race she is eligible for.[/quote]
