[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ And let’s  not mention the unsafe diving conditions at Pinecrest too![/quote]

Well Pinecrest is passing the torch for next year. So can’t wait for all the pools with safe diving conditions (and enough field space)(and enough deck space)(and enough parking space)(and a fast pool)(and enough volunteers who haven’t already left for summer vacations) to step up! [/quote]

NP: I can appreciate how there was plenty of space and it was well run and they stepped up. That doesn’t change the fact that it is too shallow of a pool for hundreds and hundreds of swimmers to be diving in. If Aunt Mary offers to host Tgiving when no one else offered - and serves improperly refrigerated turkey bc she doesn’t have a working fridge - and no one gets sick, it does not mean the turkey wasn’t a safety issue and doesn’t mean people can’t complain.

The diving depth is a safety issue. I still appreciate Pinecrest stepping up, but this doesn’t negate the previous sentence.[/quote]

If you knew her refrigerator was broken, why didn’t you offer to bring the turkey yourself? Further, why did you still eat it if you were informed of the risk? Sounds like you just wanted someone else to do all the heavy lifting so you could sit back, relax and watch football. I bet you didn’t even help with the dishes afterwards. [/quote]

You need help.

- my kid didn’t know about the shallow diving until we arrived.

- what would you have an individual do? Tell me what you think an individual parent can do?

Just like a pool doesn’t step up when there is insufficient parking, Pinecrest should not step up bc of this safety issue. It works fine, until it doesn’t.[/quote]

The lack of info on the shallow diving is on your team rep. Our team went to pool familiarization day on Friday and practiced diving/turns in the actual pool in lane 1 (the shallowest lane). Every team was invited to go. We have a lot of All Stars (and did last year as well), and while the pool depth is not ideal, nobody had any problems because they took advantage of pool familiarization day.[/quote]
