Do they also require joker warpaint on the coach faces and death skulls on their tshirts? That is what the coaches and teens were wearing at relay carnival. They also had a scary psycho animal painted on the side of their tent. Is this what we call driven nowadays?!

I think the term you’re looking for is driven. This CB team wants it. My child gets home from practice crying because of how hard the sets are, these coaches work their swimmers so hard. So obviously they were disappointed at the result this morning.


I certainly hope this is a joke, but it’s hard to tell with cb.

If you are ok with your child coming home from a summer league swim practice in tears then I’m sticking to my descriptor of unhinged

We felt bad for the cb team. Yelled at in the tent for being a disappointment, and teammates didn’t cheer for kids who swam after the meet was lost. Tiger coaching I guess, but not a healthy or supportive environment.


Really? Who is close enough to hear what the coach is saying to them in the tent? I sincerely don’t believe any coach would say that to a team.

Also there was one race left when they lost and I think they were just stunned and disappointed. Not purposefully not cheering for teammates.


Not saying, screaming. No clue if it was a coach or senior boy, but he was allowed to scream freely at young kids that they are a disappointment without being told to stop. Anyone on the deck or up in the grass was close enough to hear.


That’s so unfortunate that kids were treated like that. At the end of the day this is summer swimming. It should be fun and children should not be treated like that at an athletic event!

So many vacations among non-relay swimmers, kids like mine that stayed up way too late, and just general relay carnival hangover. But it does seem to make the meets planned much closer, so that’s good. I wouldn’t read too much into any of it.


*day after July 4th


And Me Sourpuss has entered the room. Today was fun and all teams had to deal with those same factors.


I think that’s precisely the point.
