[quote=Anonymous]We are at a mid-division NVSL pool and our team never swims up unless there would be an empty lane. Summer swim is competitive, but it’s not about parsing the rules for every possible advantage. If that means who lose a close meet that we could have won if we rearranged swimmers and played with the age groups, so be it. It is so much more rewarding to see a slower kid in an age group get a chance to fill the last lane in a race — they are often incredibly excited to have the chance to swim in an A Meet. I’d hate to take that away just to possibly gain a few extra points by swimming up a younger swimmer. Perhaps we are just lucky in this regard that our pool is relatively small and we don’t have a ton of extra kids on our team. If someone is fast, they are swimming in the A Meet regardless. No one is being left out simply because we swim kids in their actual age groups. [/quote]
