[quote=Anonymous]Holy cow! It is not a big deal. Let the summer kids NOT be the youngest for once. For perspective (and, yes, I had a summer bday swimmer), be glad it's constant. For gymnastics, age groups vary by meet. It's dependent upon who is registered at each meet. So, your 14 yo could be in an age group with people within only 6 months or with 2 years. It's extremely common for a gymnast who is on the younger side, but not the youngest to be disadvantaged. They may get an all-around of 37 and not make the podium b/c the even younger kids are super stars, while someone two months older in another age group gets first with a 36. There is no reason a 14 yo should be with the 12 year old and not the 14.5 yo, but that's what happens. It sucks and makes no sense, but it's how the sport is set up. A constant age delineation is amazing![/quote]
