In another thread I read that an unnamed USS coach was teaching using 2 dolphin kicks in breaststroke pullout,sneaking the first one in after the dive (like Kitajima did.) I had previously heard coaches teaching dolphin kick on the pullout before it was legal saying "I'll keep teaching it until they DQ it." What do you all think of this? I think the refs should watch for this and DQ the swimmers of course,but I think the coach should be flogged I don't care how many Olympians the might have trained.

Dear Fortress - No we live closer to Philly, but the team name Striker rings a bell though. I like the analogy of a drop off party, I will use that one! I like to email our team parents invitations to adult soccer leagues as a way to remind them there are always outlets for them to play in and I am always encouraging adults to join the Masters. I think that parents who still compete have an edge at remembering the pressure, the nervousness, the joy, the thrill and the disappointment that goes with competition. I am reminded often how it feels to work hard and still not see progress...another thread....
My daughter actually brought up the issue of cheating on the car ride to school today. She is 9 and is just beginning to develop the more abstract concepts of morality, she was pretty sure it was okay to cheat if someone's life was in danger but she couldnt come up with a situation. But anything less she thought was selfish.
