[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCAP brought in college students from Marymount to time finals at NCI, which was awesome. They absolutely need to come up with a solution to this. Because it was BS that people that timed for prelims couldn’t get in and were treated just like the parents who never volunteer. What is my incentive to volunteer, I’ll just wait it out like everyone else then. Part of it is also the session set up. It started with the 800 free and it wasn’t parent timed. You’re going to be hard pressed to find someone that wants to time someone else’s kid swimming the 800. On the flip side, for the last events tonight, the 200 breast, those parents were not necessarily there when doors opened or the meet started.  [/quote]

The fastest heat of the distance event is never parent timed at finals.

The host team needs to require their parents to time one or two sessions whether they have a swimmer or not. When host teams have taken this approach, they haven’t run into these issues.[/quote]

No parent is driving to IMD to time if their kid isn’t racing…unreasonable and unrealistic to expect this[/quote]
I agree, there are more than enough parents there to not have to require parents of kids not swimming to volunteer. [/quote]

Agreed, but any DC swimming in the meet from the host club should have parents assigned to at least one session for timing. When our club hosted meets, we all had to take 1 or 2 timing sessions or kid didn’t swim. We also donated food and drinks for the meet.[/quote]
Honestly it should not be limited to the host team. The host team is TOLL, they have way fewer swimmers at this meet than RMSC and NCAP. Every parent who has a kid in this meet that is swimming more than 1 day should be required to volunteer at least 1x in order for their kid to swim. You don’t volunteer, your kid doesn’t swim.
