[quote=Anonymous]In swimming, everyone, at some point gets to compete as the swimmer at (or at least near) the top of their age group. If you're in a sport (Track & Field for example) with a 12/31 age-up date, and you're born in Dec, you get only to the midpoint of your age group peers before you are kicked up to the next age group. If you were born on Dec 25th for example, you'd be days removed from being 9 years old and suddenly competing (for the indoor season) against 11-12s because you turn 11 in 360 days. Swimming is by far a better system.[/quote]
