I'm ashamed to be posting this because the swim club is the club I first swam with when I was a kid.
I think it's ridiculous that they would kick the girl out because she's a "safety concern"! She can swim with out an aid... WTF!??!! How is that a concern?
She has some minor communication issues. All it takes is a little more patience and accomodation... I can't beleive that in this day and age, there are organizations that aren't adapting their program for people with special needs.
Those are my feelings, I'm sure other people disagree... discuss.

That's just disappointing. I'm an assistant coach for a Down's Syndrome swim team here in Calgary and I know we have no problems with any of the able bodied clubs around town. Our athletes swim in the same meets as them, and I know at least one or two of our swimmers have been offered spots on other squads for extra practice time. Real shame that not everyone is open to working and adapting.
