[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aw man 15 hours of volunteering would be so sweet. We have to do five events. Our B meets are 6+ hours each! [/quote]

There is no way a B meet runs over 6 hours.

Hmmm. The last one we were at, the kids had to be there at 5:20 for warmups, meet started at 6. Lasted well past 10:30. Two large swim teams. And I heard about a meet between two other big teams that had to end at 10:30 and they swam IM first and had only reached breast-stroke. All the older breaststroke kids and butterfly kids just had to go home. [/quote]

Ok so you are including warm-up time. A meeting that goes 6-10:30 is 4.5 hours I don't count the time before the meet starts.

That is time they have to be there. It counts. [/quote]

the only ones there for the entirety of a B meet are the ones swimming IMs. If you don't want to be there that long, don't have your kids swim IMs. The little just swimming free and back are out relatively quickly. My kids love the meets that go that late because they get to swim around with their friends during taredown and cleanup [/quote]
