[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most parents do not have issues with Swimcloud (older).  I do know that the people that are like "all in the data" and rooting in myswimio can be a little weird.

We have a dad in our club who has all of it memorized for the kids faster than his own. He obsesses about his kid's standings in the club, league, etc.  He has an almost unnatural obsession with a boy that is on another team and when his son gets to race against him.

I have been told that the son now acts this way too. Kids in the club have told him, it is not about this other kid - who cares, it is about your own times.

So, yea, as a parent, I find that weird and creepy.  I would not love another parent knowing all my kids' times and events, etc, when I don't know them.  That they are talking about my kid all the time within their family and to people that they barely know on deck.  But, you see it.  And they love sites like myswimio because it feeds the obsession.[/quote]
It sounds like this person would act that way even if all he had access to was Meet Mobile and the USA swimming site. All of the actual personal information about a kid that is on these 3rd party platforms is also publicly available on MM and USA swimming. A person that obsessed would still know other kids’ times and events. What you’re describing isn’t really a privacy issue, it’s the fact that the 3rd party platforms are able to organize the already publicly available information in a way that allows people to easily do direct comparisons between swimmers.[/quote]
