[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the rules and think they should stay as they are, but if you have a summer birthday kid who dominates, just stay low key about it. There is a girl at our pool with a June birthday who is a good swimmer but her mom is super over the top in FB posts about the girl breaking pool records and winning on her older years. She did it when the the was 8 (actually 9) and now she’s doing it again now that she is 10 (but actually 11). Obnoxious in any case, but in the the particular circumstances it’s downright embarrassing. [/quote]

You sound bitter. The girl won those records legitimately under the same rules that all other swimmers have for the past 10+ years. Just because the age groups are misnomers doesn’t take away her accomplishments. The mother has every right to be proud. If a child at the top of the baseball age range sets records for home runs or pitching strikeouts no one would say a thing. [/quote]

Okay. You can think what you want, but it’s embarrassing to rave on and on about your 11 year old who broke a 9-10 record. Any over the top bragging on social media is 100% classless but this really takes the cake. [/quote]

Do you say the same of parents of red-shirted kids? "It's embarrassing to rave on and on about your 18.5-year-old who graduated from high school and won the prize for English. 100% classless."[/quote]
