My team, Rockwall Aquatic Masters is having a long course meet on 6th July and I am actively trying to convince team mates to sign up. On my blog I was describing my disappointment that more of my team mates had not signed up. One commenter posted the following, "Why do they have to participate? I have more fun going to practice than I do meets. I don't find meets fun anymore." I guess I had assumed that most people enjoy meets and I found it strange that my team mates did not want to sign up. This got me thinking and I wondered why people compete or don't compete? Any thoughts?
Patrick,
One reason that I find it a hassle is meet locations. My team has shown ZERO interest in hosting a pool meet. We have a great facility that could do either a scy or scm meet. They are very hung ho on hosting an open water swim though.
Wookie~ I really wish they would do pool meets again!! Maybe one day, MTSU will get a long course pool!
