[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mid Division here with an allstar/pv champs kid. We have been approached to switch to a top tier d1-d3 pool by a couple parents and a swimmer who needs my kid to remain competitive at ASR. So that does happen.

We loosely asked about waitlists and were told pool has a long one and they don't do line cuts for fast swimmers. We have pride in getting what we can from the middling division range, and repping our immediate neighborhood.

We also knew moving pools would create some awkward situations with classmates, friends whose kids would get bumped if we rolled over to their pool and frankly weren't sure it would be an all-around welcome.

Would have been fun to feel rush of being a big dog for sure ... especially because the B meet swimmers at that pool mock our kids for their significantly lower division standing.

You think it would be fun to feel the rush of being on a team that mocks others?  You "get what you can" from your local pool?

I'm not sure what you mean by "it does happen"?  It sounds like the pool told you that jumping the line doesn't happen and you're sad you can't join the team of bullies who have completely missed the point of rec sports.[/quote]

DP. The PP was being honest about what s/he has seen and experienced, while you’re being both judgmental and condescending.  PP and many other families are in the same boat (pools). Summer swim is rec league, but it has a year round impact in neighborhoods and schools.

There is, and always will be an ongoing tension between year round swim families and summer swim families.

But kids grow up, and sometimes parents do too. [/quote]
