[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post makes me so glad my kids don't swim anymore! I remember the vitriol of the summer parents v. the year round parents and once a person literally said to me "Well my daughter is really good at butterfly, but no one knows because of your kid"  My kid wasn't even a butterflier, fwiw. I guess they stayed up nights wishing we'd move or something :/

It gets very dangerous to have that many kids in a pool who are so uneven in terms of speeds, for those who want the year rounders there. Also, you'll complain the first time they hit each other at full velocity and hurt a finger.[/quote]

Most pools divide up the kids per speed and skill  so your post makes no sense saying its dangerous.[/quote]

I have worried about this (smashed fingers) both in summer and club swimming. Some kids want to be lane leader, even if it means leaving before 5 seconds have passed since the prior swimmer departed. [/quote]

I’ve never seen smashed fingers. I have seen injuries from accidents and kids hitting each other as they are close and fighting over who goes first.  Those are valid concerns of keeping the kids at a distance.  We have 70+ kids at each practice and a few coaches.  It’s a huge issue especially with bad coaches. [/quote]
