[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think its unfair how much more the fast kids get for their swim team registration.

B meet Larlo pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 lame, long, boring B meets that aren't even scored like real meets.

A meet Larla pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 super fun A meets, with themes and team lunches, 5 B meets, extra attention from coaches during Practice, relay carnival, all star relay carnival, and individual all stars. A
meet Larla's parents [b]aren't required to do any extra volunteering above what B meet Larlo's parenrs do[/b]. It honestly feels like the B team families are subsidizing the A swimmers.

Oh please, A meet families naturally volunteer a LOT more. Our team doesn't currently have volunteer requirements, but I can tell you A meet families are a lot more committed to the team and do a hell of a lot more of the work. Team Reps ALWAYS have A meet swimmers as do all of our officials, data coordinator, table head and so forth. It's rare that a family with strictly B meet swimmers are volunteering to do any of the big jobs. [/quote]

A meets and B meets: only A meet parents serve as officials. Ever. Not a single B-meet-only parent serves as an official.

B meets: half the A meet swimmers don’t go because they have long course or relay meets

Practices: [b]A meet club swimmers don’t go to summer swim practices except maybe Friday; they go to club practices all week[/b]. B meet swimmers get the benefit of all the summer league coaches’ instruction.[/quote]

Then why join the recreational summer swim team?[/quote]

Because it is fun and helps break up the grind for kids who swim year round. The teams also still want them because they are the ones winning races and contributing to the relays. [/quote]
