[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rule really disadvantages the kids w/ May birthdays. If kids just swam their actual age like they used to before 2009, the swim meets would be so much more inclusive. At our pool, the same kids swim 2 events each so there is no room for one of the truly 12 year olds to compete in A meets. I never realized how many summer birthdays there are until summer swim. Luckily winter swim is fair in that each swimmer competes according to actual birthdate.[/quote] and if my kids was on your team and he turned 13 on August 5th/just after the season you would probably still complain because he was on the older side and you kid just wasn't fast enough to beat him and make an A meet. FWIW I have a kid who is on the younger side/later March Birthday and he has swum in ever A meet since he started summer swim. And no he is not a big kid, actually in 25th percentile for height and weigh. It is not all just about age. [/quote]
