[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people saying the summer birthdays can help with later success but hurt kids who miss the cutoff, here is something to keep in mind. The most successful area swimmer over the past decade - Torri Huske - never competed in a summer league. Her parents only had her do year round swimming at AAC and I don’t know if they ever even joined a pool. [/quote] Tori is a true outlier an earlier poster was looking for. Anthony Grimm is another. I don’t think anyone is saying summer birthdays help kids truly compete with the Tori’s and the Antony’s of the world in the long term. In fact, it’s much more likely those older than age group kids, and their parents, end up with inflated egos based on early success in the younger age groups and then flame out when other kids catch up to them when the age differential alone plays less of a role.
