[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... OP's kid didn't make the swim team and they think the whole team should be defunded.

I mean A) good luck with that B) I really hope you aren't making statements like this around your kid because it's definitely not teaching how to handle rejection appropriately.[/quote]
NP with no stake in this. I do find it strange that city and county tax dollars are used to fund these teams that are not open to more kids.

These teams are generally are full of wealthy families getting to use funded pools.  And they do nothing to promote any kind of diversity. [/quote]

Many of us are in RMSC because we are not wealthy and it’s what we can afford.  You have to try out for multiple sites multiple times to get in like the rest of us.  It’s pure luck and depends on how many try out and space availability.   Best to get in at minis but you choose to wait.  Usually there are a few spots and that’s it.

Yes, they do let really good kids in the higher groups.  It’s about winning.  They don’t care about the lower groups and it’s a money maker for them.

Rockville has lots of other options in lessons and preteam she can do.  Sign her up for a few so she’s swimming multiple times a week.

You sound very difficult.   RMSC can only take in so many kids as there is also free swim and lessons at the pool and they can only run before and afterschool.

Rockville is the hardest to get into.  That’s why you do multiple locations.  [/quote]
