Whatsup w/ that?
Hey Scratch Swimmers,
What's up with these last minute, no shows to your team's swim meets?
Here's the deal:
It's unfair to our swimmers if coaches have put you in a relay event and there are 3 other swimmers on that team expecting you to show up.
It's unfair to our swimmers who may have had a chance to swim in the event you were assigned to swim in but you decided not to come to the meet.
It's disrespectful to our coaches who count on you to participate, be a part of a team, and try your very best. Kinda hard to do when you don't show up.
It's a waste of time at the beginning of each meet where coaches and parent volunteers are juggling the events and assigned swimmers around at the last minute; trying to minimize potential impact to relays and other swimmers by making sure events are covered with the goal of our entire team doing its best.
It's been made clear that a) we all get it about summer vacations and plans, b) it's okay to miss a meet, c) exceptions to last minute no show can be an illness.
Please be respectful to our team and sign out a week ahead of time so that coaches can plan our team's meet(s). When you decide at the last minute to not come to a meet, it's not all about you anymore.
Our team has a lot of fun and a lot of potential. Please be a part of this exciting swim season and demonstrate your commitments and follow through on sign outs.
