[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The swim parents at our pool like to think they’re laid back and chill but they aren’t.  The amount of screaming while
their  kids are swimming at meets is terrifying.  The kids are underwater— they can’t hear you and I don’t think they want to hear you either.  [b]And the amount of time and volunteering the team expects from parents is also not laid-back[/b].  Finally, the swim families are so clique-ish.  The parents don’t interact with non swim-team families, the kids think the pool belongs to them and not all the families.  Finally,  the families of top swimmers self-segregate from even the rest of the swim team families![/quote]

It takes a lot of volunteers to run a swim meet. If a team is laid back about volunteering then swim meets don't happen. No way around this.

do you also think people shouldn't cheer at football game or baseball games? Players on the field can't hear what you are saying. It would be so odd to be at any sporting event where folks watch in complete silence. Now are some parents more competitive and crazy, sure. Attend one of the NVSL all star meets where the top 3 D1 teams take over ALL of the stands and you will see the craziness.
