[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pumped. I had to make a fuss to get my youngest on 8&U, but last night at practice they were practicing with the starting buzzer and my 7yr old swam a time that got my almost 9yr old into a few A meets last year. I am hopeful he does well tomorrow so the coach and rep will drop their snark about “giving him a chance to see how he does”.

 :roll: It’s not snark to say you want to see how a 7 year old new to swim team does. The fact that you know your 7 year olds time from practice is a red flag, although you “raising a fuss” about a 7 year olds placement has already cemented your reputation as “that parent” with the coaches and reps. Please know that you are exhausting for us to deal with. [/quote]

Maybe if the reps didn’t pull strings to put her friends’ kids on the team and push my kid to the junior team for another year, it wouldn’t be an issue. Be fair, don’t gossip, and let kids swim where they should based on their times. What are you going to do? Punish me by giving me a “bad” volunteer spot? [/quote]

Junior team? You have two teams?[/quote]
