[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]would it make people feel better if instead of the category being named 11-12, it was, say, "age 11 or 12 as of June 1 of this year" or even "born between June 1, 2010 and May 31, 2012"?[/quote]

It would make people feel better if summer swim worked like year round swim. [/quote]

The vast majority of people doing summer swim don't do year round swim.  Kids who do already have huge advantages.  Why would we change a system that works to accommodate them?

Frankly, I think it would be great if summer swim worked like many other sports.  If you do club you can't do rec. You have to choose. [/quote]

If you think the kids setting league records (who also all happen to be older than their age bracket) don’t also do club swim, I have a bridge to sell you. [/quote]

The point is, they are NOT older than their age bracket; they meet the age requirements for the bracket. The title for the age bracket is misleading. That is your actual beef. To make the full rule the bracket title would be stupid as most people are not too dense to understand it.. [/quote]
