Not trying to have any assumptions--but if you're both parents-- I'm guessing you're the type that believes HIS/HER child is an angel and should be included in ANYTHING that you're doing--invited or not.
Some things are designed for ADULTS, others for children or teenagers.
Yes, the original poster may be an avid swimmer BUT is this the correct forum for us to praise him for getting his DRIVER'S LICENSE? That's a rite of passage for most teenagers not a major athletic accomplishment.
By the way Scansy--short of putting some kind of block on JC-Fly--how do YOU propose I weed out what he is posting when he answers in another question?
Also--there are plenty of forums for the love of the sport of swimming. Why not look into swimming on the DEJA.com forum? Or what about Swimming on the About.com forum?
JC--as a teenager with access to the internet--be inventive--find a forum that directly addresses your specific problems and interests. While you may be a nice kid--I'm looking for adult problems and solutions with swimming and competition.
What is appropriate for an grown person to be doing in a workout may NOT be right for a growing teenager. What is medically indicated for an adult is NOT always what is done for a teenager. Heck--if you injure your ACL (look it up)--you'll probably have surgery. If you're 50+---it's usually NOT suggested.
