[quote=Anonymous]My DD is a diver and practices on Saturday mornings in the dive well during open swim. Open swim at 10 am is generally elderly people and water joggers, save for a small group of insane club swim parents. The kids arrive with wet hair and in parkas so I assume they’re coming from club practice at another pool. Parents have their kids hop in an open swim lane and go through long workouts, which they video while standing on the deck. The parents will shout instructions across the swim lanes. We live on the west coast and these parents are all mandarin-speaking (I’m mixed ABC), so it dispels any myth of the overbearing white sports dad. These are kids with caps and gear that indicate that they swim with clubs that they have practice 2-4x/week already but they’re just 8-10 years old. It’s totally crazy and hard to watch. [/quote]
