I can agree with that statement. My kids only did one year when they were young, and it was the worst sports parent experience! Our meets are all outside mid summer in 90+ degrees. The pool deck is packed with parents, and the meets were 3+ hours just to watch your kid swim for a minute or two! Half of the meets had a thunderstorm delay where we'd all have to wait in our cars for an hour as well.
It made them strong swimmers for life though, so it was totally worth it.
