[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of older swimmers, pls don’t ever post about your kid winning when they are age group swimmers. Swimming is a long game and you don’t want your kid’s identity to be about the winning - Even to grandparents or close friends who will love your kid no matter what. If your kid continues to succeed, the older accomplishments will likely get highlighted by their high school or college. And if they quit or fall off, you will be grateful you didn’t define them by their wins when they were younger so your kid now feels like a failure. Celebrate age group champs with your kid in person (be proud of the work ethic, being a good teammate, race strategy and time drop) but don’t lose sight of the fact the swimming is for them, not for you. Your job is to raise a kind human and good citizen who can function in society. Their success in swimming is their own and not yours. [/quote] Sanest swim parent ever. Bravo![/quote]
