[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is also considered bad form to swim in Divisionals if you aren’t also going to do All Stars [/quote]

True. You are hurting a teammate. [/quote]
Only if that teammate has a shot at IAS. Otherwise, how so exactly? [/quote]

Were you the one arguing that divisionals is important to your kid? If so, you’re a hypocrite. Divisionals can feel just as important if not more important to a kid behind yours on the ladder because they know it’s the last meet of their season. Signing up for divisionals with the plan to scratch denies that teammate an opportunity. You’re a jerk for letting your kid do that. And don’t come at me trying to explain how swimming works I guarantee I have more knowledge and experience with it than you, and probably more success than your kid will ever have. [/quote]
I wasn’t but WOW. I’ll ignore the hypocrisy in your attitude. 
So my kid, who never gets to swim their best events in A meets, because they’re happily competing where their team needs them, [b]should skip Divisionals because theyre going to scratch all- stars[/b], so another kid - who won’t make all stars - can swim in divisionals instead of them? Got it. [/quote]

Yes. Period, end of story. If your kid is truly a very good swimmer they are more focused on their long course season anyway. You just said they were happy to swim wherever their team needed them for A meets. Something tells me YOU care more about showing off how fast your kid is to your friends and neighbors.

You're missing an opportunity to teach your child how to be a good teammate in an environment where that is supposed to be an emphasis. [/quote]
