[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So that we are clear:  some of you believe A meet (only) parents should volunteer more than required because their kids are in A meets and B meet parents should volunteer less? [b]My kids don’t do a single B meet[/b]. If the A meet swimmer does no B meets, then the kids are all in the same number of meets. Regardless, at most pools the rule is: your kid is in the meet, you volunteer. That’s pretty fair, isn’t it? Kids who swim both A and B meets will cause more volunteer requirements.

It’s baffling why anyone is okay being so narcissistic that they disregard rules as being inapplicable to them because they (alone) can determine what is okay or not.

Then how do they have times to swim a meets? [/quote]

My kids get times at Time Trials to qualify for the first A meet, and then use their times at the A meets to qualify for the next A meet.  Isn't that how it usually works?

We consider time trials B meets for volunteering purposes [/quote]

I see.  In that case I would assume that the team rep above who says their kid doesn't swim B meets they mean B meets that aren't time trials.  [/quote]

None of it matters: B meets that include or exclude time trials. A meets only. A and b meets only. B meets only.

The only thing that matters is the parents chip in and meet their volunteer obligations or willingly pay the penalty. Parents who self-title their minimal efforts “sufficient” when it’s less than the required volunteer hours are selfish. [/quote]
