My kids have been swimming on the stoneridge swim ...

My kids have been swimming on the stoneridge swim team through splash pools for eight years. My third child who is seven just started swim team and after a week of practice is being told by coach Mackenzie that she cannot remain on the team even though she can swim the required length of the pool. In my eight years at the pool, most of which I have spent volunteering as one of the parent leaders for the team, there has never been a child who has been denied participation. I had my concerns about Mackenzie coaching from the beginning, because when she was teaching my three year old swim lessons she pulled her under water without warning. It took me four years to get my daughter over her fear of the water and now the same instructor is telling her she can't participate. We have already found another swim team who will accept her, but I am sad to leave stoneridge and splash after eight years. I called the director of splash, but she did not have any alternate solutions to offer. I expected better from splash after all these years of working with them.
