B meet Larlo pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 lame, long, boring B meets that aren't even scored like real meets.

A meet Larla pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 super fun A meets, with themes and team lunches, 5 B meets, extra attention from coaches during Practice, relay carnival, all star relay carnival, and individual all stars. A
meet Larla's parents aren't required to do any extra volunteering above what B meet Larlo's parenrs do. It honestly feels like the B team families are subsidizing the A swimmers.

Yep. Spot on. The parents of little kids who are B meet swimmers definitely subsidize the whole operation for parents of older A meet kids who are often pretty checked out or just participate in the fun and competitive events.

Wondering if you are at our pool haha

My hunch is you are trying to stir the pot. What about all the A meet swimmers who pay the same fee and practice 1 day a week bc of club? That is a lot of my pool’s lineup and quite frankly we need them for budgeting purposes (if they actually practiced every day our lanes would be packed). Or, how about the B meet swimmer who attends doubles and therefore gets 9 practices a week. A lot of our little kids love to attend doubles when they can and don’t make A meets.

Our pool charges $250 a kid for daily practice for 7 weeks. If your kid attends practice daily (not to mention they could double) that comes out to approx $6.25 per session. How does this thread make it seem like people are being taken advantage of?

There is never going to be any system in the universe that is completely equitable for every single participant. Enjoy it or decide to do a different activity.

I agree with this. On a large team where 30% of swimmers go to their club practices 4 days a week, the non-club swimmers arguably get more instruction and attention from the summer coaches than the club swimmers.

Correct. It’s done.

11-12 free were just lining up. They didn’t swim either. But we also heard no make up and awards and points based on seeding.

Where we are (southern Fairfax Co) it’s still dark and thundering.

The rain is done, but we'll hear thunder continuously near Rutherford all the way to 9:30 or 10

Exactly. It keeps thundering and Rutherford doesn’t have lights.

I’m sure the lack of lights contributed more to the quick call to cancel than the weather. They knew they were on limited time as it takes a while to start things back up after even a small delay.
