[quote=Anonymous]Club swim culture is different than summer swim culture. Club swim is more about personal best and getting time cuts where summer swim is about team competitions. The scoring and completion in summer leagues can bring out the crazy in parents. Overall I find club swim pretty chill; there is no yelling at refs about bad calls and all that. Overall kids are very supportive of their teammates and always on the deck or turn end of the pool cheering on their friends. Swim is definitely a time commitment thought. As kids get older they practice more and more. Sometime that means early mornings, although lots of clubs have afternoon options as well. Meets can be long so there is a lot of sitting around unless your volunteering. Which takes me to the volunteer stuff. It takes a lot of volunteers to run a meet so parents are expected and often required to put in a good amount of time. [/quote]
