[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my niece and nephew in RIchmond are having swim meets. they have electronic timers, 1 parent is allowed on deck to watch ea race, everyone waits outside under their own tents, they have to leisurely swim to the other end of the pool to get out closer to the doors, plexiglass in between the  lanes at that end only.[/quote]

That would mean the county and team would have to use some of the money to retrofit the pools which they aren't willing to do.  They cannot even keep even temperatures with the heat in the winter.[/quote]

It isn't much of a retrofit for touch pads, there are pools in the area that have them.  They are put on for meets and then removed.  They are expensive though.  And I don't think that there is a lot of extra money floating around to make it happen.  The clubs should be able to do it - particularly Machine, NCAP, etc that are more expensive.  I do not see summer community pools pulling it off because so many of them are working at the margin.[/quote]

The county/RMSC isn't going to spend that kind of money on meets.  They don't even give out the t-shirts anymore.  And, at best we have 2-3 coaches for 70 kids.  Ideally they should do it as its more accurate but its not going to happen as they only do the minimum.  They cannot even give us our deposits back or credit them like they said they would to this years swim.  (if we want them back, we can do a request through the county but we haven't even gotten credited the money yet).  County summer pool swim teams should be given them from the county but they aren't really given much of anything and some teams have a good parent rep who puts money/time into it and others don't.[/quote]

Make your way back to the RMSC thread please. Or better yet, find a different club. You are really bitter about the t-shirt thing. It is weird.[/quote]

The point is they aren't going to spend the money to make it safe.  They cannot even give us a schedule or start date.[/quote]
