Wanted to swim or deserved to swim based on fastest times?   Huge difference. If the ladder is followed, as it should be,  there will still be disappointed kids, that is life.

Now as a team rep I do find it frustrating when you look at the entry list with alternates listed and there are alternates listed in the top 6 who won't get to swim because 2 kids on their team have faster times. But rather than give up a spot, which I know is their right, a team puts in a kid with no time who then DQs at the meet because they can't even swim the stroke legally. [/quote]

There were several kids who were top or second on the ladder for more than 2 events. Coach picked and for at least 2, they were upset because they weren't swimming the event they wanted and a kid who was lower on the ladder did.

Agree in the dq situation, you should give up the spot. [/quote]
