[quote=Anonymous]This happens in some swim clubs when kids “age up” right before SC or LC champs, where coaches spend less time/focus on these kids because they are unlikely to win state or national age group championships when they are young relative to the other swimmers competing. It’s short sighted though, and the sign of a club that’s not good for developing swimmers for the long game. When they are at the senior level, it balances out and if anything those kids with birthdays right before SC champs have a relative advantage within their graduation year when looking at colleges, if they are trying to get to the next level. I imagine it’s different depending on the sport, but if coaches or organizations are overlooking or not developing talented kids simply because of where their birthday falls, they are not good organizations and you should avoid them anyway.
