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.
Greg:
Yep. I checked to make sure my kid was on the list before the deadline. She wasn't under "meet entries." I emailed the coach in time to notify him of the problem in plenty of time to correct it. Never heard. Emailed again. Never heard. Called today. I think it is too late to fix the problem. I usually love her coaches, but on the administrative side, there are some issues. But neverthleless, I'm kind of PO'd.
