My college student is a manager at a NVSL pool and is working 5 am - midnight straight today due to swim Divisionals plus team socials tonight and a full day again tomorrow for diving Divisionals plus team social stuff.

Be thankful for your pool staff this weekend in the heat everyone!

+1. OP is ridiculous. And one senses this is just one in a series of ridiculous threads OP has started.

+2, this is rec league summer swim, FFS.


+1000, this whole thread is WTF.

Ha! We got there right when they opened it up to set up team areas and yet a few Div 1 teams already had stakes in the ground reserving their spots. How is this possible?


They were actually there very early and were told to take down their team areas. The team areas will be assigned during individual all stars.

It wasn't so much the mud or dirt, but that it was steep and rough terrain with tree roots, etc. I saw someone almost fall. I had a boot on my foot and it was really hard for me to walk up and down the path. I asked if there was a way to walk through the streets to get to the team area, but I was told I could but it was really roundabout and would drop me off on the other side of the school. I could have parked myself in the pool area, but I wanted to spend time with the kids in the team area.

Oh dear


Right?! Nightmare parent has outed herself. Parents do NOT belong in the team area.
