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.

  • Ice cream for breakfast is such a big departure from pancakes with syrup and cream...NOT. Don't be such a food-facist!! ;) kidding tee-hee :hug: Heh! Don’t tell the kiddies, but now that I think of it, ice cream (with fruit on it, of course, maybe some cherries, whipped cream, and dark chocolate syrup—for the bioflavinoids, natch) provides the complete breakfast: dairy/protein and fruit. Sprinkle some cereal on it for some carbs, and you’re all set! :groovy: Your kid will be ready to tackle any school day with this meal! Or maybe tackle other kids with the excess energy, but hey you want them 'up" and ready for action, no? ;)
