  • The Lancaster Summer Swim League will have 23 teams in three divisions for 2010 (down from the four divisions of the past few years).
  • Essentially, the teams are grouped by relative strength based on previous win/loss records.
  • At the end of each season, the team with the best record in Division II may trade with the team in Division I with the worst record and the team in Division II with the worst record may trade with the team in Division III with the best record.
  • In this way, a new team could start out in the lowest division and eventually win it’s way to the top of Division I.
  • Again, the movement is a factor of relative team strength which can be affected by team size and depth of talent.
  • Each team depends on this “depth” respect each year, and relies heavily on good participation from each swimmer to maximize the “pool” of talent so to speak.
