[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My kid was sad to lose her relay teammate for a vacation. [/quote] I'm sure she was but put this in real perspective. It can be an intense and emotional season but it's a summer activity. There is no money involved. This is not the state championships where kids' college scholarships are on the line. Most kids on most teams never swim those A meets. Most families do not prioritize summer swim above all else. These kids all deserve the best possible summer, and sometimes that might mean a family vacation, an amazing sleepaway camp or something else trumps summer swim. They have 12yrs' worth of summers to participate. It's okay if they miss a week. Signed, Team Rep whose family does prioritize summer swim but recognizes that's a personal choice[/quote] Amen.[/quote]
