[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm ... it SUCKS that anyone would make fun of her.

I know you're not supposed to meddle with high school kids, but I think I would say something to the coach. Like, "Look, I know she struggles, but she loves it, and it's not appropriate for kids to pick on her."

I give her credit for sticking with it!

Swimming is an individual sport, so I don't really understand the dynamics. With a team sport it's all fun and games until you hurt the team. You may get to the point where you cannot have friends on the team because you drag the team down. My DD's team had such a player last season: she considered herself as an asset, but she was completely clueless about her abilities. All the players and all the parents are happy that she is not on the team this season. [/quote]

She's taking a spot from someone who can earn the team more points.[/quote]

So,what?   It’s a no cut sport,which means that the school is not interested in getting the most points.  Let her swim.  [/quote]
