How is lowering the standards a good thing? Should we just give everyone a participation trophy while we're at it?? My swimmers work their tails off all season to lower their times, and qualifying for states is the brass ring. It means something, because it is so hard. The amount of time, finances, and resources to travel for the state meets is significant. The boys want to swim as many events as possible. Help me understand why we'd want to stop the trend of MOTIVATED swimmers making faster cuts. To state that our swimmers can "focus" more if they have less events to swim is condescending & dismissive. Mahalo for asking our opinion and drafting this petition! Aloha.

Does the LSC understand that if they slow down the time standards to INCREASE the amount of swimmers who can participate, the meet will not be any shorter? Either option produces the same meet length. The swimmers and coaches should be able to decide what is best for their athletes, not the LSC.

Ending the meet early and decreasing the time standards helps us, the athletes how?

Swimmers should be able to swim the maximum of 8. We can manage our events wisely.

I think we work really hard training all year and should have the opportunity to swim 8 events if we qualify for it. It also keeps us more competitive swimming faster.

8 events would be better for all of us. We should at least have the choice.
