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.
From my 12 years of observations, those parents never see themselves as being a problem. However, when the kids hit the teen years, they will handle the situation. I would say the 13 year old already is.
Now I must work-out and then drive, drive, drive my kid to swim practice, hope it is indoors, it is 49 out!
