[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swim team parents verses travel soccer, basketball, softball etc is not the same. Have (are) doing both. Sorry but have to agree with the other posters. Many of the swim parents are really strange. The fact that they all hang out at the pep rallies and other team events is just strange. It most certainly does not happen in other sports the same way.[/quote]

Swim teams are local to a specific area and kids stay on the teams often for over 10 years. I don't really get why it's strange that the parents wouldn't hang out together after dropping off their kids. They don't participate in the pep rally. By the time kids are on the swim team they can usually swim independently so at a pep rally parents are just hanging out among themselves. There's definitely a culture of travel parents hanging out together too. Obviously you don't like your pool or the people there. Sorry you don't like it, but our pool is great and so are all the others ones nearby as well. There is no gala, and everyone is down to earth and all the kids go on to high school together. You get to meet entire families including all the brothers and sisters, not just the one elite player. I have to think that places like Bethesda, these parents are over the top whether they're at the pool, on the soccer field, at the gymnastics facility, or at the school. If you want more down to earth people, move out of neighborhoods full of rich, type A parents.[/quote]

+1 well said. Just another point. The Bethesda pools have nice people too. They rich type A parents are all at the Country Clubs :0[/quote]
