[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The swim team subculture is weird. My son was involved for a few years, and I was relieved when he moved on to other sports.[/quote] Yessssss.[/quote] Why is it a subculture, and what is weird? The cheers offend you? What's your preferred sports subculture?[/quote] No. What I do not understand about many I have met who 'do' swim team is the parents' full submersion into the sport and culture. So many swim team parents seem to be getting their team-sport fix via their kids. The parents of the kids who have the true talent in the pool do not do this. But for those kids who don't participate or cut it in other sports it seems that swim team allows their parents to imagine they are part of something. It is your kids' activity. The parents almost humiliate themselves.[/quote]
