[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]Swim always goes by times,[/b] so this isn't racism. Sure, its not necessarily "fair" but the other kid could be swimming with a year round group.[/quote] Nope. My sons swam at Chesterbrook in McLean for a number of years, and when I pointed this out to a coach once (son wasn't sent to an A meet in spite of faster times) he made up some BS about effort, and blah blah. THe team reps are notoriously useless. [/quote] DP. Same story different team. Our team has a rule that meets are seeded based on maximum points—but coach diverges from this and the reps don’t seem to care. I don’t think most parents notice it because they aren’t hunting down seed times on the NVSL site. The coach seems to favor certain kids and we aren’t sure what the reasons are to be honest. It doesn’t seem racially motivated at our pool, but it could be anything—innocent or not so innocent.[/quote]
