Overlee Crash & Burn

[Anonymous]

Dear goodness, we need to re-title this thread. So unfair to the awesome coaches and decent people at Overlee (and to the OVL swimmers).

Also, not looking forward to Divisionals at CB this Saturday. Overlee and DR were such welcoming hosts the past few times the division got together.

I was at the meet and agree there were some aggravating moments and definitely concur the officials were fantastic. But let's let it go already. Nothing is being solved through anonymous complaints about behavior, especially the personal attacks on specific individuals. Let the reps handle any actual issues and as parents we can do our best to try to behave and encourage those around us to do so.

Thanks to CB for hosting divisionals this weekend and I look forward to the warm welcome they will extend to all participants as they work to demonstrate good sportsmanship and restore some of their reputation.

Is it too early for next season predictions?

I think we can all agree Tuckahoe could do a better job of make space for the visiting team parents. They stick you behind the start/finish end, and don't spin the time boards, so if you stay where they want you to, you can't see much of the racing or times.

Not sure what the big deal is. We just sat in the chairs with all the other parents. No problems seeing the timer boards and they were very warm and welcoming. Can't wait to swim there again next year!

Tuckahoe added a bleacher on the CB side to be accommodating.

Yeah, but could you see anything from the bleacher and how many people can actually sit on it.

Very few pools are set up for optimal spectator viewing of a swim meet.

I truly have no skin in a game as my kids don’t swim for either team, but I can’t resist just asking you to please shut up! You have nothing better to do but complain?

I just discovered that a poster massively sock puppeted this thread, creating entire conversations with him/herself. That poster's posts have been removed but I think this thread has gone on long enough and I will lock it.
