Great parenting there. Why not tell DC to use their words and switch it up at the next set? [/quote]

I did.  But the kids were about equal in speed and the kid was competitive.  He told the kid to stop, kid would not.  He went to the coach who ignored him.   I pulled him out for a week because he refuse to go and emailed the coach and organization with no response. I walked him into to the practice and coach refused to talk to us.  So, he refused to swim and we went into the regular lap lane to swim.  I finally convinced him to go back and told him he had to stand up for himself and kick back.  Finally the coach cared and then had the nerve to email me about him and I reminded the coach what we did to stop it first.

Stop letting your kid hit other kids in practice or they may get hit back.  [/quote]

Honestly this is crazy. Why would you send your kid back to a program where the coach clearly didn’t care about the safety of your child? There must be more to this story. [/quote]

Cost and convenience with other activities and they were moving up eventually.   The new coaches were worth putting up with it as they are fantastic.  The sad part is that coach occasionally coaches the older kids but the coach has been ok lately.  [/quote]
