[quote=Anonymous]See all the previous entries on this site about the fact that other pools don't step up to host. I'm happy Pinecrest volunteered. It's a hike for us to get out there and my kid has events far apart, but I thought they did a nice job today with letting the kids in the water to understand the conditions before the meet. I don't think the injury risk is any bigger than the many many pools around NVSL where either the 50 or 25 starts with a 3 foot dive since they've overfilled the pool. It is a risk, but if you don't want your kid to swim, scratch them. Everyone has their risk tolerance and as others have pointed out, lots of sports--cheerleading, horseback riding, skateboarding/bmx, football, have high injury risks and you have to weigh those and make sure your child understands how to mitigate those risks to the best of their control.

We're in a lower division and really appreciate how Rutherford and Pinecrest stepped up this year to host when they don't send a ton of kids to these meets. [/quote]
