Rumor has it that some teams were recruiting outside there LMSC for swimmers at nationals. What do you think of this.

And based on other comments Connie's made I guess she thinks her team mates are all just a bunch of cheap complainers getting a free ride at $45 - $55 when we can go down the street and pay the same or less at UCI and NOVA.
Or heck, screw it all and get a family membership to the city of mission viejo recreational facilities and pools for $42 per month complete with fitness classes and an impressive weight rooms.
The more I read Connie's posts the better that last option sounds.
Well, if you see no value to what the team offers, you may as well.
Why should you be paying only $55 to have access to 25 rather cushy workouts a week, when some 10-year old's parents have to pay $120 for the same thing, and have to volunteer or pay another $500? To swim in the same lane with another 15 kids.
I think what you *should* be ashamed of is that your own coach struggles to make a living so your fees wouldn't go up to what the kids pay. While he has to pay the same higher fees and do his own volunteering for the team on top of working there so his own kids can swim.
