[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid swam and did well. I didn’t post anything this time, but have in the past. I have seen others post about it and quite frankly, I love the posts. I love seeing the videos, I love the pictures and I love seeing how well the kids did. I love it whether the kid got first place or the kid got last place. I love it whether their kid beat mine or mine beat theirs. I also don’t see it as bragging, but as being proud of their child. Swimming is a lot of work and really doesn’t get much of the spotlight as a sport, I say celebrate your kid and their sport.

I wouldn’t post meet mobile results or mention beating another child, but I love the rest of it and think you must be pretty insecure if you can’t appreciate the posts without negativity. You should unfollow that person and move on. [/quote]

Different poster: it’s not black or white. I can be supportive and happy for another family when the swimmer does well. It’s the frequent posting that off-putting. With swim, if your kid is good, you don’t need to say anything to other swim families. They all know it. You’re also not posting this for yourself or your family, bc you could do a group family text chat or you could have a private social media account for family only. I lump people who post this stuff with all people who over share -  and it’s annoying. It’s akin to bragging in person with someone else. [/quote]
