[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I actually don't really care about #1 or #2, it's more that I hear a lot of complaints about it from other parents- as for #2, [b]my DC finds it creepy when the parent just sits there and watches the whole entire time[/b]

as for #3, come on- they exist and you know it. Those parents that think they kid is the sh*t and treat all the other parents like they don't matter even when you're trying to be polite- It's like middle school all over again.

Personally, [b]I think the worst swim parents are the ones who make their kids swim even when the kids says they don't want to[/b]. The kids talk, it's not a secret.

So as to point one - I will show to practice once of month or so and watch.  I have lived in different areas, have had kids on different teams and clubs.  I am a swim team rep for a summer team.  I am judging the coaching.  Not so much watching my kid.  I wanted to see what kinds of lanes they have, coach to kid ratio, if they know the kids, if the kids are having fun and being corrected, etc.  So really I am not watching so much the performance of my kid as to what they are getting out of the experience.

As to point two - agree with you.  We have a kid on the team who really hates swim.  Parents make her do it and then constantly say how much she loves it, loves it, loves it.  She doesn't.  She tells the kids they make her.  We also know that they are using it because they think she is heavy and overload her with physical activity then feed her junk.  It is all kind of messed up.  She is a sweet kid.[/quote]
