[quote=Anonymous]I'm starting to get confused by the math and I'm a swim parent. What if we set it for August 1st, essentially after swim season ends rather than on June 1st at the beginning of the season. You swim as of the age you are on August 1st. Or maybe August 7th to be certain the date is always after All Stars. Essentially all you're now doing is instead of having a handful of kids "swimming down" all summer you have a handful of kids "swimming up". The kid who turns 11 on August 10th swims as an 11-12 all summer although still 10. Whereas right now the kid who turns 11 on June 10th swims as a 10yr old all summer. Someone will always be the oldest and someone will always be the youngest. I see the issue. My own kid is negatively impacted by having two older boys in his AG, so yes I know it's frustrating. It's a 6wk season so the extra work for the data volunteers and coaches to be shuffling those kids around really isn't worth the effort[/quote]
