[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our team rep assigns each family a job every meet.   Issue solved. [/quote]

For real.  Even in CRP training you learn you can’t say, “someone call
911.” You have to say, “Jan, you go call
911.” People like direction [/quote]

I would prefer this to our current sign-up system. Some families over exceeded their point requirement while others couldn’t find jobs to meet the requirements and so they had less points. I don’t know how the logistics would work but if the team rep would point to me and assigned me a job I would gladly do that and I know most families would too. [/quote]

We had the point to you one an old team and it was terrible as it was a hot mess.   Our team rep just sends out and email if your child is swimming in the meet. [b] That doesn't sound right if some families exceed and then they get annoyed at you for not volunteering when you don't get a chance[/b].  I'd just speak up and say that.[/quote]

This happens at our pool. By the time I sign my kids up almost all the jobs are gone except for ones I’m not qualified for (S&T). The same people sign up,quickly. There is no complaining about volunteers but sometimes it’s had to sign up unless you’re one of the first people to sign up. I do volunteer in other ways during the week

So yes, it looks like I’m sitting around at every meet. Because I am. I would volunteer if needed but there is never a need.

OP your pool kind of sucks. [/quote]

Same at my pool. I don’t know if the reps realize this is an issue. They send out heartfelt thank you to the parents who exceeded their points requirements while it looks like some of us have been sitting around avoiding work. In reality the jobs are spoken for very quickly which leaves us with nothing to do. [/quote]

+1 and these are the people OP and others are "shaming". But it's okay, swim team and summer pool drama is all you have, and martyring yourself is all you have. Congrats. You're #winning.[/quote]
