[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a direct stake because my kids are all 12U.

That said, I am baffled by the willful ignorance and those being intentionally obtuse. People care for the same reason they care about the club swimmers coming in and dominating all the A meets. There are a lot of people across the metro area who cannot pay thousands for club swim or $600 for a suit that is only good for a few wears. Both the suit and access to club swim give kids a significant advantage over the traditional summer swim only kids whose family dues and swim team membership are several hundred dollars combined.

I'm baffled by people that think club swimmers shouldn't be allowed in summer swim. Would there even be a league if you did this? Our team would lose about 1/3rd of swimmers/families. Good luck raising dues by 33% and requiring the remaining families to pick up the volunteer slots.

A large part of the motivation for my kids to swim club is so they can swim A meets in the summer.[/quote]
