I wouldn’t blame the rec center. They only did what they were told.


Exactly. FCPS always manages to screw everything up.

What we are hearing is that Oakmont canceled the reservations for tonight and tomorrow.


So you aren't swimming at all?

I feel like they can correct this and it is non-issue.


Assuming that Oakmont cancelled the reservation, it's not like they filled up the space with some other meet. They can cancel water aerobics, lap swimming, zoomba in the water, etc.

But why include the team on that? I am not saying it is the coach is at fault for the rec center's confusion. I am saying the coach is at fault for passing that confusion to his/her team UNLESS it is a definitive thing now. That is when the coach should tell the team.

WAIT - your coach forwarded to the team that you are having timed finals tonight? That would a sure thing then.

OR

Did your coach just forward that information that it might be a maybe because of a misunderstanding? If so, they SHOULD NOT DO THAT. That is ridiculous and confusing.

I seriously doubt Oakmont booked a conflict for Saturday night in ONE day. That makes no sense and is just silly.


If they canceled the reservation it might have messed up staffing.


Still fixable and enough time to fix it. I swear coaches are drama mamas and just create silly problems. That are not problems.
