[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't see why having an August 1st cutoff date is a non starter? Wouldn't that solve this entire debate?[/quote]

No it would just change the groups of kids advantaged and disadvantaged.

I heard the reason they put 6/1 as the cut off is so the kids would be the same age for the entire summer swim season.  I don't think an 8/1 cut off would help fix that problem.  6/1 is the only one that works.[/quote]
8/1 would work the same. Whatever age you would be on 8/1 is the age you swim for the whole season. So instead of kids with June/July birthdays swimming down to the age they were on June 1st, they would swim up to the age they will be on August 1st. It disadvantages the summer birthday kids though, instead of the current advantage they get. [/quote]

Someone is always at a disadvantage. Just move on. They aren’t going to change it again. They tried it for a short time and it nobody liked it.  You need to get over it. [/quote]
