[quote=Anonymous] I have a late June birthday kid that barely makes A meets, even when they’re older than their age group. I have a winter birthday kid that makes IAS every year, beating kids that are older than their age group because of their summer birthdays. The age cut-off is only one tiny piece of the puzzle contrary to what many seem to claim. Size, athleticism, genetics, natural talent, and hard work are far more important to swimming than a two month age advantage. Someone will always be advantaged or disadvantaged by a cut off, no matter when it is and it’s simply unreasonable to age-up on your birthday during a 7-week, team-based season.[/quote]
