[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was once waiting for my child who swims year-round team and a group of moms had a printed-out list of all the kids, their time, and comparing/criticizing them.  It was so sad.

I'm just excited when my kid doesn't come in last.  They like swimming and that's all that matters to me.[/quote]

This seems like an odd story. I can’t think of anyone who would have a print out of results. [/quote]

Sometimes I print out the heat sheets, especially if there are a million heats and the pool doesn't have a working scoreboard. Otherwise, it's way too easy to lose track. All the kids (including my own) look exactly the same in their team suits and team swim caps.[/quote]

I once went to a meet for 8U that wasn’t on meet mobile and didn’t send heat sheets out the night before or have them for sale. Then the scoreboard blinked out, including the clock. After the initial fluster of trying to figure out how to tell what was going on, everyone just gave up and listened to the announcer and watched the kids. Most relaxing meet ever. [/quote]

That sounds awesome, not gonna lie![/quote]
