George asked whether age group swimmers are being bullied/pressured into swimming by parents, coaches and friends. Are they? Are parents living out their "unfulfilled dreams" through their young ones, as Geek suggested in another thread? Share your funniest/saddest story about overbearing swim parents or coaches.
There was a family (a boy and girl) that swam age group in Nebraska in the late 60s/early 70s. They lied about their ages. The boy was 9 and swimming with the 7 year olds and the girl was 12 or 13 and swimming with the 9-10 year olds.
Needless to say they eventually got caught and were never seen or heard from again.
