[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a ridiculous whine. LOL. Every sport has cutoffs. [/quote]

NP: I have 15-18 yr old kids so this isnt my issue now…but I think the idea is that yes, all sports have cut offs, but the cut off for everything in swim is your actual birthday except for summer swim. I don’t think people are advocating for no cut off, just a consistent one. [/quote]

Except that isn't true. Your actual birthday doesn't matter for high school swim. Should that be changed too? Sorry Jane, you just turned 19 in the middle of your senior year. You can't swim on your high school team any more![/quote]

It’s HS swim—no one is alleging that rule is unfair. You’re in HS, you swim on the HS team. Were you seriously confused what I meant by by saying the cut off for swim (except summer) was your actual bday? [/quote]

The issue here sees to be people whose kids swim club, centering club.  There are two separate types of swim, and they have different cut offs, because they are different types of teams with different teams.

It's fine for kids who swim club to do summer swim, but ridiculous for kids who swim club to try to make rec swimming into club swimming.
