[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entitled parents that expect others parents to fulfill their volunteer requirement for them.

We aren’t talking about widowed parents, or parents who are in the midst of cancer treatments, we consistently see the same parents (mom and dad!) (of older swimmers, too!) who hoard tables and only get off their arse to buy snacks and watch their kid swim. They don’t even help reset the pool deck and cleanup after the meet. Trust me- those of us working well beyond our volunteer hours are judging you.[/quote]

You must go to our pool. :)

We had a new team rep come in a few years ago and doesn't take crap and the lazy parents have been slowly aging out of the new culture our rep is developing. They are able to track really easy through swimtopia who is volunteering and if you don't volunteer you get stuck working some of the worse meets at the end of the season.  The rep literally will make you or pull your kid from the meet.  It has been great.

But, I also know most people are not wired that way and most reps don't want to be bothered or hate those conversations.[/quote]
