[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been involved in the swimming community for 20 years and I’ve never not attended a swim meet as a swimmer whether hosted by my team or not that didn’t require parents from several teams to volunteer. Volunteer lists are dictated by how many swimmers a team has in the meet. Swimming is a sport that requires lots of volunteers timing, running, we also need officials and Marshalls for safety. For the winter classic specifically many Marlin parents work several sessions at the meet, as is required of them to do and there are still positions that need to be filled. Again for the winter classic you are running 10 sessions in 2 pools at once. Parents also sign up to volunteer and bail. Doesn’t help! Swimming is a community and it requires volunteers to function at the highest level even, so I think it’s reasonable to ask parents to time one session out of 10 for their swimmer to be able to participate in a meet.
