[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of over the top swim team parents and coaches at Overlee.  One of the people running for the board made some statement about fixing the waitlist or our days as a division 1 team are numbered.  Like a threat, as if it’s the worse thing possible.  On my way out the night before a meet I saw an overlee swim team spirit sign and it’s resemblance to a penis could not have been accidental.[/quote]

I went and looked up the statement after I saw this.  I think you are taking it out of context.  I know that individual, and would not classify him as a gung ho swim parent at all.  I think it is more stating the problem that the Overlee waitlist is so long- it means that new families to the neighborhood and young families can never get in.  That has an adverse impact on the swim team b/c they are not bringing in new younger swimmers, etc.  
It amazes me that Overlee has competitive board elections- we have to beg people to join our pool board- there is no competition for slots :) [/quote]

Except that’s what the guy said in his statement.  We need to resolve the waitlist issue or our days as a D1 pool are numbered.  He goes on to say the 8 and unders at the other powerhouse D1 pools are much larger.  I read the whole thing too.  It didn’t read well.

Most people at that pool are not on swim team and do not give a hoot about D1 status.
