[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kids aren't good, you can take a vacation.  If your kids are good, expect people to give you the side eye if you skip meets. [/quote]
 :roll: That’s ridiculous. If anything there will be parents glad their kid then has a chance at A meets. We had club kids skip meets for PVS LC meets and no one looked sideways at those kids. [/quote]

PVS LC meets were always on a different day than summer swim meets last year. They did that intentionally so they wouldn’t screw up summer swim. [/quote]
The last Saturday meet conflicted with PVS LC champs. The 2 PVS LC Opens were on Sundays only, but there were other PVS LC meets that happened on Saturdays and Sundays.[/quote]

Are you thinking of All-Stars? I know that conflicted with the LC championship [/quote]
12U LC champs were July 14-17, the last summer team meet was July 16.[/quote]

But it was local and Saturday events didn’t start until 3pm, intentionally well after NVSL meets would end. Events the other days started in the morning. Our club had a few swimmers going to the PV meet,  but all first went to the NVSL meet in the morning [/quote]
That’s great for your summer team, I guess? We had club kids miss meets for club swimming events. It was not a big deal at all. The summer swim obsession in this area is wild, [b]it’s a 6-8 week no-cut rec sport[/b] for crying out loud. [/quote]

That's part of what makes it fun.  All the kids in the family can do it, on the same team.  8 year olds are as important to the team as 18 year olds.  And yeah... people care how the team does, because it's dumb to spend so much time practicing for something and then just blow it off. [/quote]
You do know the club kids have spent 10 months practicing in the lead-up to LC champs, so what would be more ridiculous to blow off? :roll: 6-8 weeks is not so much time. The kids could care less if a teammate misses a meet because of another commitment, be it a vacation or a club meet, it’s a weird parent thing. Adults should not care so much about a 2 month long rec sport.[/quote]

My kid was sad to lose her relay teammate for a vacation. [/quote]
