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.
I don't want to be an overbearing swimming parent, so how does one handle a situation where your kid's team screws up her entries for a big meet (i.e., they apparently disappear into the void) when you submitted them well before the entry deadline and have the emails to prove it? No deck entries either. No apologies either. This is what we write the big checks for?
