[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son swims, I feel the same about swim meets.  There is lots of waiting for a minute to 2 minute swim.  Do they ever ask for volunteers? It does make the time go faster. [/quote]

Swim meets are the worst.  [/quote]

You say that because your kid doesn't run cross country.  You watch them start.  Then they disappear.  So you watch an empty finish line.  Woo Hoo.

At least with swimming there are other people swimming to watch.  That's mildly entertaining.  With cross country they're gone.

It's like if your kid was a competitive scuba diver.[/quote]

I'm actually praying my kid does X country because I was a swimmer- I know you can't watch the race but its over in what? like 20 minutes? Aren't they 3 miles about? My poor parents breathed those nasty fumes for about 6 hours pretty often![/quote]

It's over in 20 minutes, but it's the same as a swim meet in that you don't necessarily know when your kid is racing, so you're stuck there a lot longer.[/quote]
