[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The swimming threads never disappoint. I am an official and one of the mock scenarios in the training involves a parent with supposed video evidence that contradicts a call. They are very clear that video evidence is not admissible in any situation, period. Do not be that parent who makes this into a whole situation. You’re in for a long few weeks if you are already this crazy about A meet spots. Let the season play out, and whoever is actually faster will end up in the lineup.[/quote]

Not really, the way our team works, is the A-meets are in one faster and deeper pool all the B-meets are in a shallow pool or (one they don't even practice in) or one of these shallow pools around the county.  I suspect the times will fall off considerably.  For many kids time trials are the only time they'll compete in a nice pool.[/quote]

You are worrying about the wrong things. A swimmer who is legitimately faster will be able to post a good time in a crappy pool. Stop thinking of excuses as to why your kid won’t make the lineup. Your time would be better spent looking into lessons to improve their technique, or if they are truly really into swimming finding the best training environment for them in the winter so they can get better at racing. This is like when a soccer parent complains that the team lost because the game was on grass instead of turf. You either got it or you don’t.[/quote]

Excuses? listen to you.  I'm not about to do training a sorry excuse of sport like this.[/quote]
