[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something is fundamentally wrong with the structure of this activity when there's this much division and b*tching.[/quote]
It’s DC parents. They’re all about complaining and martyrdom.[/quote]

Outside of this board, I haven’t heard any of it. All of the parents that I know like summer swim and most kids seem to love it[/quote]
This whole thing is enlightening for me.

I wonder how much of this over organizing and crazy adherence to rules has to do with the DC area’s private pools’ shameful history of racism and segregation.

You always need rules to keep out the “wrong” type of people.[/quote]

As mentioned before, a meets are USA Swimming sanctioned meets. USA swimming rules require this people at every meet:

4 Minimum Number of Officials Required for Dual Meets 1 Referee, who may also act as a stroke and turn judge
1 Starter
1 Other Stroke and Turn Judge (may be the Starter)
1 Announcer
3 Timers per lane (one minimum if automatic timing equipment with touchpads is used) 1 Administrative Official
1 Place Judge
Relay Take-off Judges (if applicable)
Marshal(s) (number determined by the LSC)[/quote]

Just FYI the USA swimming rules are not enshrined in the Constitution. If parents didn’t want it they could change it. Y’all act like it is some inviolable set of regulations. You love the nonsense and talking about how hard it is and how accomplished larla is and how your family has “no time” because of swim. Doesn’t make it important or good for your kids. Just fills up your life. [/quote]
