[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the flip side, as a team rep, I’ve had parents chew me out on deck for not bumping a faster swimmer for their slower swimmers. It’s a hard enough job, but even if you do it the fairest way (do they have the time or not), you get yelled at.  No matter what you do, someone’s gonna be pissed. [/quote]

That does sound thankless. Can anyone lay out where the line is between coach and rep responsibilities? I'm trying to understand who actually owns the A-meet lineup — is selecting and seeding swimmers entirely the coach's job, with reps running the meet logistics (declarations, entries, scratches/subs, rule enforcement)? Or do reps have a hand in the lineup itself? Curious how it works across pools.[/quote]

This is 100% dependent on the team.  By most summer league rules, team reps are Gods responsible for everything including pool setup, concessions, volunteers, officials, meet directors, equipment, pool water quality, team rosters, meet entries, times, overseeing timers, disputes, league board member, hiring coaches, etc, etc, etc.  Seriously, go read your summer league bylaws...

Most teams offload a lot of that onto others though.[/quote]
