[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its interesting how oversubscribed the open is given the other 3 meets.  Officials at these 7 meets are going to be spread mighty thin. One thing I like about swimming is that you don't have to do all the meets, [b]if you want to go away this weekend, just don't sign your kid up to swim[/b].[/quote]

I wish.  When a kid is going for a qualifying time, skipping a meet is not an option.[/quote]

A qualifying time for what?  Your DC has until May 30, 2024 to qualify for Olympic Trials.[/quote]

Why are you on this forum?  Swim is about making cuts and always making the next cut.  So winter champs in December. PVS Champs.  Zones. Etc.

It is not about the Olympics but making the next cut. [/quote]

How are y’all surviving in life being this tightly wound? [b] Learn to read sarcasm[/b]. [/quote]

Sorry it sounded like ignorance.[/quote]
And like someone purposely being an @ss and suggesting it’s not like the kid is going to the Olympics so why would they even care. [/quote]

Agreed.  It was mean.

I think when kids don't have a kid that is truly passionate about a sport they just don't get it.  I have three kids and they are all good athletes, but my one kid is obsessed with swimming.  It is everything.  They practice, train, and think about it all the time.  It would crush them to miss a meet because they are constantly trying.  My other two, like it and have fun.  But, they would not care if they missed a meet.[/quote]
