In some places, the bylaws of the LMSC are written that way. For example, in the Ohio LMSC (as opposed to the Lake Erie LMSC), they DO swim on their own sub-teams for meets held WITHIN the LMSC--Cinci, Oxford, Columbus,BG, etc. but if they go out of state or even to meets held in the Lake Erie LMSC, they swim as a whole team. I used to be on a team there. I think it is fine that way.
Now, for the first time that I remember, this weekend Lakewood (Lake Erie) will have a meet where the sub-teams will be swimming as separate groups, with practice teams gaining points againt another practice team. There will be fun relays included with the winners being treated to lunch after. I think it should be fun.
Michigan swims as one team (a big one) out of state but at their own State meet (a very competetive and well-attended meet), they swim on sub-teams, battling it out.
