[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is DC’s first time on a club team. I’ve noticed that the coaches don’t really do anything about swimmers colliding in the lanes. For example, if DC is faster than the swimmer before them, rather than re-order the line, the coaches just leave them to constantly run into each other throughout the practice. Is this normal? Seems silly not to just change the sequence rather than have two swimmers constantly fighting with each other for the space. [/quote]

DP here.  This happens all the time and it's annoying as heck to my DD.  However, she's not shy about speaking up when she's kicked by a swimmer in front of her.  At a pause moment, she tells the kid that s/he either speeds up, or switch.  If the kid doesn't do either, she asks her coach to handle it.

What's even more annoying to DD is when the meet host doesn't give enough lanes for the number of swimmers to warm up, or where the meet host "shorts" the team out of 5-7 minutes of warm up time because they're running late (but gave full warm up time to other teams).[/quote]

Haha, my kids call meet warm ups prison rules and equate it to being out in the wild jungle.  There is NEVER enough lane space for warm ups.  It is 20 million kids literally swimming over top of one another.  And I have seen it.[/quote]
