Overbearing Swimming Parents

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 refer to my earlier post about kids today being overindulged. Sounds like there's that and then some going on with A,B and C's parents. "No Timmy, two plus two equalling five isn't "wrong" it's just original...here, have a medal because you're all winners!" Good grief. Bravo to the coach in your story Leslie.
