[quote=Anonymous]All of you that are calling to strip away the unnecessary parts of summer swim meets like ice cream socials, pep rally’s, pancake breakfast—don’t get that these are the things that make kids LOVE summer swim. If you strip it down to just practices and meets, many kids will stop swimming. And that may be okay for you uber competitive parents whose kids swim intense hours year round, but most won’t be top swimmers. Those of you who are desperate for your kids to swim on a summer team but think there should be some giant change of culture don’t realize that once it’s changed it won’t be as fun, it won’t be as strong of a team, it won’t create as many lasting memories.

At the banquet every year during the senior speeches— none of those seniors are reminiscing about early morning drills, dryland workouts, or even winning individual races. Every single one of them talks about the extra stuff, the things that just can’t happen without the parent volunteers going the extra mile. [/quote]
