Is it my imagination or is the smarter gender under represented in masters swimming. I would like to get some real numbers to confirm my observations. Forumites like Rick Osterberg, can you give some data about the ratio of men to women at USMS meets? Perhaps we could break it down by age group (I can hear the CPUs humming at Chris Stevenson's place all the way from up here in Mass).
If women are under represented, then I would like to discuss the causes of the imbalance and begin to work on improving the ratio.
LOL. Sad, but so TRUE! That and the now-seemingly-required "helicopter parenting..."
All I can say is mommy guilt seems to abate somewhat as the years pass. As does the urge to engage in helicopter parenting type behavior. The latter is only counter-productive for your kids anyway (I think) because they are then less independent and less creative.
