[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone whose kids swims for a lower division team, try to watch your kid swim in relay all stars and you'll notice half of the D1 parents just camping in the stands even though their kids aren't actually swimming [/quote]

My kid doesn't swim in all star relays but couldn't this because their pool has teams in nearly every relay and they know the kids and are cheering for them?  Is the seating so limited everyone is supposed to cycle in and out for every race?  I've never been.[/quote].

Yes, the seating is limited for individual and all star relays so you are supposed to cycle out so the parents/fans of the next event can cheer but that doesn't end up happening. [/quote]

This. My pool usually has three or four teams, but the coach is strict that you watch your kid, not the pool's other teams, and leave. Meanwhile, D1 teams have coolers and sections and everyone else has to crowd in an hope there's space to see their own kid[/quote]

I am on a (non-Big 3) D1 team and I missed my own child’s first relay last year because the O, T, and CB parents would not move from the bleachers and, at Hamlet, there was nowhere else to go once you were in line at the front of the bleachers. RUTHERFORD: Take note and do not let this happen this year. [/quote]
This happened to me as well. We sent almost 20 relays and yet a parent from one of those teams, when asked to stop blocking people from viewing, literally said to me that she was a D1 parent and therefore deserved to view at the expense of other parents. [/quote]

I think they should give priority viewing to whichever team provides the most volunteers for the meet. You want priority parking? Provide the most parking volunteers. You want the best viewing? Provide the most marshals. [/quote]

Our team has three relay teams going and was asked to provide three volunteers. No way the D1 teams are ponying up a proportional number.[/quote]

D1 has to provide 15. Each team in D1 is responsible for 2-3 a piece.[/quote]
