[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You swim mommies are annoying AF.  Such whiners.  It is a sport where they swim the length of a pool and back.  Who gives a crap about the birthdays.  Can you not make anything fun?  Is everything a competition in your poor kids life? Swim team is supposed to be enjoyable.  Parents ruin everything [/quote]

You have way too much time on your hands to open a thread about swimming if your child isn't a swimmer, read all of it and comment.

I'm 8:48.  The June 1st date has disadvantaged my swimmer but that's life.  These are the children in the age group, my child is faster than some and slower than some.  Partly based on age and partly based on ability, but that's life.  You could do age groups based on birth year but you will still have someone who is the very youngest 13yr old and the very oldest 14yr old who are essentially two years apart.

It's a 6wk season, shuffling kids based on birthdays gets way too complicated for what is a fun summer activity.[/quote]

I am a swim mom and you are ANNOYING!!  The irony is you are here going back and forth about a little kids sport.  Someone gonna be old.  Someone gonna be young.  Move on.  Get laid.  Drink wine.  [/quote]

I have a swimmer with a May birthday, who is one of the youngest in her age group every other year.  I also have  a swimmer with a birthday in early June, who is one of the oldest in his age group every other year. That’s what I tell them both - in every sport, grade etc. someone is the oldest and someone is the youngest. [/quote]
