[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just hate sports around here. I was on a neighborhood swim team for years in the 80s, through my teens. We didn’t have turn judges and the only DQs I remember were the people who dove before the gun (and even then I think you got at least one false start do-over). People take themselves—or their kids—so seriously here!! Who cares what their kids’ times are? Do you think you have a little michael Phelps? Some of the kids I swam with later swam for Stanford, so I think they somehow managed to learn how to swim without being DQed by turn judges. This is part of why I don’t let my kids do swim team. So ridiculous. [/quote] Calm down...the kids have a blast and at least at our pool, everyone is really chill, despite DQs. My 8 yo was DQd and so I knew to have him check with the coach on how to do it right, and the next time he did it and was so proud of himself! [/quote]
