[quote=Anonymous]My kids are little, and I coach. I see nothing wrong with DQs. My kids work all year to develop their strokes. Why shouldn't kids that are not swimming the stroke legally get DQ'd. A B meet is purely developmental. If you are swimming fly or breast stroke as an 8 and under or even 9-10, there are plenty of DQs. It is fine - that way at an A meet, there are not 6 DQs per event at the younger ages. The coaches only put kids in that are legal in those strokes. I fail to see how this is different than a ref giving a kid a free kick at U9 for a handball or a goalie going outside the box, etc. The kids have to learn some how. And believe me, all kids remember this stuff and fix it. It doesn't make it "less fun". It teaches kids that rules are rules, and they have to be followed to play the sport. Isn't that part of life - following rules? [/quote]
