[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The root cause is an insufficient number of parents willing to pull their weight. For every parent that had already timed a session and just wanted to spectate last night, there were probably at least two more that hadn’t, for no good reason (some have valid reasons). You can blame the host team, PVS, and/or UMD processes all you want, but that doesn’t change the number of volunteers required to run a swim meet. If all families felt the sense of accountability that some families feel, then they wouldn’t need to resort to these tactics. I’m really over the parents that show up at these multi-day meets and don’t volunteer a single session if they’re physically able to. You’re the problem. Why do you expect other families to do this on your behalf? [/quote] NP. Every meet needs enough timers. I wasn’t at the meet this weekend, but UMD is the only venue where I’ve seen them lock parents out AND treat them with such hostility. They don’t do this at GMU or PWCS or the FFX Co rec centers, for example, even when they have finals and need more timers. [/quote]
