That is not true.
So those pools will step up next year? Which ones?
I am of the camp who think iIAS and ASR should be at an indoor location like GMU or Oakmount. Tired of the rushing to get to ASR, sitting in hot humid cars, for the event to ultimately cancelled. Charge fees if needed to cover the facility rentals.
Capacity is only 500 though. People wouldn’t be able to get in and single event viewing would be a logistical nightmare. Where would you put all the teams?

Put up or shut up. Pinecrest was the ONLY pool that volunteered. Huge shout out to them for welcoming the league to take over their pool this week and all the hard work they put into making it possible.
+1000
If a pool other than Pinecrest wants to take it on, please do so!!!! I live in the neighborhood and want my pool back
I want people to not park like idiots. There were cars parked so that they were in intersections and blocking mailboxes and driveways. I am fine with using the Fox Mill pool for a few days but would appreciate people not creating hazards with their parking and jostling for parking. There was a lane to drop off swimmers, drop off your swimmer then park and walk over. The extra few feet of walking is not goig to kill you.

This is 100% true. Every year they BEG pools to host ASR and IAS. it is tricky because there aren't many pools that have the space and set up to host such a large meet.
Now IMO I think there should be a meet entry fee per swimmer per event ($10) and this money should go directly to host pools. Many entice more pools to want to host if they were to get a check for $8-9K.

Appreciate Pinecrest hosting and they did an awesome job with organization, viewing, etc.
BUT with the shallow dive end, Pinecrest should never have been hosting such a huge meet. Don’t even feel comfortable with a dual meet there. When I saw the post about an ambulance being called, I immediately thought it was because of the shallow dive end. DC did scrape the bottom of the pool with their knees when there last year. Anybody trying to defend kids diving into 2.5 feet is off their rocker.
Thank you for joining the voice of reason. It is insane people are saying it is perfectly safe and if you don’t like it,
do something about it. My not tall and experienced 15-18 year old boy scraped the bottom, again.

I've got to assume that's not right. MCSL has minimum depth rules for dive-in entries and I don't think this would even come close.
It is right.

It’s not wrong. Pinecrest’s pool has starts at 2.5ft. Here is a quote directly from their website:
Pool Layout: The 25m start end is the deep end by the slide, 50m starts are at the opposite shallow end. The shallow end starts at 2.5 ft. We will do our best to ensure the pool is as full as possible prior to the start of the meet.

I’ll let the swim folks who know what they’re talking about give their opinions on this.

The shallowness is like the crocs left on deck- or any safety hazard- 99%+ of the time nothing will happen.
