[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am amazed how you know all these other kids birthdays. I know the birthday of my kid and the kids of my 2 friends that go to our pool. My kid did all star relays yesterday and I have no idea the birthdays/ages of the other kids in her relay. Maybe u all should volunteer your time in better ways towards the swim team as a while rather than worrying about birthdays. [/quote]

There are parents who stalk the website that lists the scores/information of the kids online.  They monitor all the times/ages. Its a bit creepy.[/quote]

Actually, all the kids know each other's birthdays. If you think they aren't aware of who the "aged up" kids swimming in the younger group are, you're really wrong. It stinks to lose a relay or divisional spot to a kid who is older than their age group. The mixed age relay is a big sore spot for a lot of teams for this exact reason.[/quote]

Our mixed age consisted of a 9-10, who was actually 10,  an 11-12 who was 13, a 13-14 who was actually 15 and an 18 year old.

Half of the mixed age kids were actually a year older and you can TELL.  They looked like giants compared to the kids in the actual age group and are in an older grade.  The 13 year old was the only middle school kid in 11-12.  It is just weird.[/quote]
