+1. Not completely related, but i'd like to see the elimination of B-meet ribbons for 13+ except for special circumstances. So many of those ribbons go to the trash.
Our pool does not post a ladder and the time on the backs of those ribbons are the only way to track/know kids' times (unless you write it down as your kid swims, which is hard to do if you are volunteering). If that were not the case, I would agree with you
I suspect that with the move to swimtopia, all those times will be available now. (You can probably go check your account right now...) I'm the data person, and when we migrated to swimtopia, we transferred all our old meet data. In your account, you should be able to see your kids' best times as well as times at various meets. It's possible some pools didn't transfer the old data, but I'm guessing once the season starts it will all be available there
I'm the pp. Our team has had swimtopia for at least the last two years. I just checked it and there are zero times of any kind for any of my kids.
My guess is your team did not really use swimtopia to the extent it should have (loading in the prior years, running meets through Meet Maestro, importing the A meet data into Swimtopia, etc.) This year they will be forced to do so. So you should get everything from this point forward.
You should also email your team rep and ask them to import prior years into Swimtopia. If you ask before the season really gets going, they might actually have the time to make it happen.
I think this poster must be correct. I’ve done our data for several years and we have used SwimTopia for several years (but never meet maestro). If you just used SwimTopia for registration but didn’t bother to import meet results into SwimTopia then they wouldn’t be there. But I actually don’t see any way to hide times from parents for their own child. So I’m thinking they are there.
If your team did not upload the meet manager results from A meets into SwimTopia (in years past) the prior times would not be there. It would show nothing.
This year would be different and all swimmers will have access to their own times moving forward.

Really? When I login and click on My Account and then click on a swimmer and scroll all the way down the page it displays my kids best times in all events.
Sorry. Hit send too soon. Then if you click on the best time hyper link it will show you all of the swim times. Mine go back 9 years.

Yes, our team migrated 20 years of data into Swimtopia and all of my kids times are in there. I can look on the app or login on the website. There is not ladder or way to see other kids times but your own kids times are all there. Our team also does not make B meet times public.

Kids can only swim 2 strokes + IM if we get to it.
You can't swim if you placed on Saturday. But if you didn't, go for it. It's especially good for the younger kids on Fly and Breast to try to get it legal in a judged situation.

Our team has used Swimtopia for at least 5 years. Our coaches/reps simply unclick options to hide all times. BUT…we have a transparent ladder with all team times and always know where our kids are for purposes of A meet and relay planning.

That’s correct, because B meets are not NVSL events. Some teams have formed B meet leagues and may have adopted rules, but the most leave the question of who swims B meets to team governance.
