[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]

You’d be amazed at how many random parents asked how old our kid “really” was this year because they were the top swimmer in their age division. Nevermind they were the 2nd best in the age division last year and made divisionals in multiple strokes as a “younger” kid too. It’s summer swim, it’s for fun my kid will be the youngest again next year so what does it matter? I agree people should not concern themselves with this type of thing.

My kid played another sport where size really matters and was done by grade level. Someone’s summer aged kid did an extra year of pre k along the way, making that child exactly 3 years older than mine. Rightfully so, that child was significantly faster, stronger and further along than mine. I have no problem with that. [/quote]
