[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really they should put Tuckahoe, Overlee, and Chesterbrook in their own division and they can race each other twice and be as obnoxious as the like to be to each other

Then put Donaldson Run, Highlands, OKM, Crosspointe, Langley, and Kent Gardens together 
Everyone would be happier [/quote]

New to swimming and not close to d1, super curious about this. Is the issue the coaches/leadership and trickles down to swimmers, or obnoxious entitled parents  raising similar kids, out of any coaches’ control?[/quote]

NP.  We have had two kids in D1 swim (not Tuckahoe, Overlee or Chesterbrook) the past two years.  I have never seen the obnoxious behavior folks make reference to here.  Wondering if this is a hangover impression from years ago, or isolated instances.  I will say that these teams can be what I would describe as a bit intense at times.  But I have no issue with any team taking the sport seriously.  Some teams are just more laid back, others not so much. [/quote]

Same profile and same impression.  Most of them are just people having a good time and are friendly and fine.  Not discounting the isolated incidents of bad behavior and it sounds from this thread like Chesterbrook in particular might have some bigger issues.  However, the issue just seems overblown to me.

Let's be real, people don't like that these teams win all the time.  It's not fun to swim against them year after year and lose.  [/quote]

+1.  We have worked meets with parents from all of these pools and had zero unpleasant experiences.  Just about everyone was friendly and easy to work with.  There's definitely a palpable intensity/energy at meets w/ the big 3, and people celebrate when their kids do well, but nothing out of the ordinary.  [/quote]
