Swim Rant

Unbelievable. Geek is getting in touch with his feminine side. Who would have guessed? Gull, caressing one's moobs is not getting in touch with one's feminine side... Actually I kind of agree with Geek here. If you have a straggling kid that's not quite got the stroke (and is doing a DQable version) I wouldn't DQ. Not finishing the stroke correctly I would DQ, wrong kick I would DQ. For something bomething borderline I wouldn't DQ. I agree about teaching correct stroke, but as Geek said this is about kids that aren't swimming all year round...just a bit in the summer. Provided they're not winning based on the slightly incorrect stroke, I think DQ'ing may be more discouraging. If they get good feelings about summer league then they may join a team full time and develop then. That's show I see it. It's like the difference between in-town and travel soccer. If I had to call everything in in-town that I see we'd never get a game.
