[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re being ridiculous. Don’t like it, don’t do meets or don’t do strokes your kid can’t legally do or work on this insecurity you have about it or get lessons for your kid or ask the coach what the issue was, etc. wrong is wrong and a dq is a learning experience rather than reinforcing bad habits.

OP, it's not just about your kid but the others too. My younger son who is 8 recently placed 2nd in a B meet in breaststroke. Great, right? No! He was doing a dolphin kick, which is MUCH FASTER than a breaststroke kick, and he should have gotten DQ'ed. It was unfair to the kids who were doing the stroke properly and therefore went slower. I have an older swimmer too so my son knows how important it is to have legal form. I told him he should have gotten DQ'ed and he told the coach. Coach told him she agreed but it wasn't up to her and sometimes stroke and turn judges make mistakes. He told his friend who placed further down in the ranking for the event that he "won" over my son.

Then the boys got snow cones. It was a great meet!
