[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents complaining that their kid didn’t swim “X” stroke, parents telling the coach that their kid was VERY DISAPPOINTED that they didn’t make it to divisionals.

Otherwise it was a fun season. [/quote]

Ugh my kid has been disappointed at not making it to divisionals and I’ve definitely mentioned that to others in conversation. It doesn’t mean I thought they should have been picked at all. The coach makes the right decisions and I’d never question them (and it’s been very clear cut) but it’s ok for kids to be disappointed![/quote]

Someone told me a parent was so disappointed, they sent a letter to the board for further investigation into how the lineup was chosen.  It's ok for a kid to be disappointed.  This is going to be the first of many disappointments in life.  Move on.  The parent needs to get a life!  [/quote]

DP.  How do lineups get “chosen”? At our pool the top swimmers get to pick their strokes.  If you have one of the top two times you are guaranteed your choice.  The times can be from an A or B meet.  If you’re lower down on the list you may not make it based on which strokes the top swimmers pick, but there’s not really any way to game this?  Weird.[/quote]
