[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was there.  Div 2 team with a lot of relays participating.  I had 3 kids swimming in 6 events.  I applaud Hamlet for stepping up.  All of their volunteers did the best they could, especially the marshals running the bleachers.  The drop-off area was great.  It was brutally hot, but there was plenty of space for teams to hang out.  The clerk of course was at least in the shade.

If parents would follow the rules and get out when their kids aren't swimming, it would have made everything better.  The bleachers were tight but there was enough room for each event if people would move.  Maybe they give out tickets for each event and you need one to be in the spectator area.  Otherwise, you hang out outside the pool.

What about using the Saint James?  Or another indoor facility?  Or just get rid of parents all together.  Parents just make everything worse.  If you want to see the meet, you volunteer.  Otherwise, stay home and watch the livestream.  I heard it was good.[/quote]

I like the ticket idea.  Give each swimmer a certain number per event.[/quote]

You'd need marshals to enforce it, and because volunteers are supplied proportionally you'd still rely on D1 parents to not be aholes[/quote]

There’s probably some way to do this that isn’t a nightmare. Got a year to think about it![/quote]

At this point, I think the 'prize' for winning should be hosting the following year or providing a host. Maybe Chesterbrook can breakout the checkbook and convince Spring Board [/quote]

It’s a 2 year commitment so Hamlet has it next year. Hopefully more people were appreciative than not.

Please show kindness towards Orange Hunt. [/quote]
