[quote=Anonymous]I was a dance mom before I was a swim mom and I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy. My daughter dances at a classical ballet studio that does not compete. Some of the moms there are more involved than others (and probably could spend less time at the studio, but that's their business) but no one is crazy.

I have four kids who swim summer and two also swim club. Our summer team is small and most kids get to swim in A meets. There is some competition for relays but it never gets cutthroat. I can see how summer swim parents can seem cliquey when they're good friends because they work at meets. But when I joined the team, I fulfilled my volunteer requirements and made a point to talk to people and get to know them during meets. Now some people might look at me and think I'm one of the cliquey ones because I do tend to sit with the friends I've made over the years, but I also make an effort to go around and meet the new parents.

When people seem to get a little annoying I remind myself that everyone is trying their best.  [/quote]
