[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I skipped a grade and turned 18 in March of my freshman year of college. Why can’t I compete as an 18 year old in an 18 and under league?  Not a 19 year old, or even an old 18 year old. I was a year and a half younger than most of my classmates - grew later, drove later, etc.  Let me have this one thing![/quote]
So as a college sophomore you would have wanted to spend your summer participating in summer swim with a group of high school kids and younger, none of whom were your classmates? Sure :roll: [/quote]

My kid has a bad swim bday so this isn’t even my kid I’m talking about, BUT…I could see kids wanting to do this. Here’s how it plays out on our team:

- kid is 17 and goes to college, including swimming in college
- kid returns after a year of college and is an assistant coach on our summer swim team
- kid also swims at meets, where she is anyway for work and where she’s getting paid to be
- kid knows the whole team as both a teammate over many years + from assistant coaching[/quote]
