[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do get annoyed at that parent that sits with her tween child at.every.single.meet even though spectators are not allowed. [b]This same parent takes the limited seating given to actual swimmers because I have heard the complaints.[/b] This swimmer swims one event and ends up NS for the rest. My kind side suspects the kid (12ish) suffers anxiety of some sort. My mean side thinks [b]who the hell would put a kid with those kinds of issues in club swim/swim[/b] - probably one of the worse sports for having to be out there on your own.[/quote] Shame on the parent taking a seat from an athlete. And, yes, there are better sports for your child. Group sports can really help a kid with anxiety (soccer, lacrosse, etc) and in the alternative - if you have a kid who loves to swim then choose a non-competitive track.[/quote]
