[quote=Anonymous]Kids with summer birthdays are always the smallest and youngest when it comes to school and school sports. Funny, their parents are never the ones complaining about that being unfair. It is what it is. My spouse volunteered yesterday and made an interesting observation watching the older kid medley relay. One teams 13 yo was racing an 18 yo D1 bound MAN. He didn’t complain or think it was unfair. He just swam his leg of the race and cheered the rest of his team on. My own kid was up against an entire heat of kids who were swimming the PVS 12U championships and several seeded in top 10/20 in multiple stroke. My kid didn’t care, they just swam their best race, cut time and out swam their seed. They’ve moved on today for their next sports season. Kids don’t care, this is a parent issue. Those parents should take up swimming or some other sport and concentrate competitive efforts there and let their kids be kids. You are not only ruining it for your kids, you are ruining it for everyone else. This is all supposed to be for fun. [/quote]
