I can't believe that people would fathom wearing tech suits at Summer League Meets. As a product of the Delaware County Summer League system, I wouldn't put anything pass these parents. They get catty, jealous, and downright nasty. The kids would too. There are countless times that competitors called me an A***ole without even speaking one word to me. WTH!!!!
I commend my local paper for banning tech suits at their annual Elite Meet. Then again, I have worn paper suits at my Summer League Championships and I am now embarrassed to say that I did taper for a Summer League Championships one year when I was 15(and I didn't really care about JOs that year since I moved into the Senior age group). Of course, after I did, other people in my league starting shaving and tapering for my League Champs.
That could be a solo thread - crazy summer league antics.
I have to say Summer League meets are much less intense and more geared towards fun. We do it as family fun. JO + meets are where you see some extra loco antics.
I did have to yank a shrimp out the other night who was either going to drown or about to throw up in the pool. The parents where cheering him on and I went over and said, "get this child out of the pool NOW." He was doing that cough, gag, burp thing.
