    Looked to me -- at least where the video started -- that he was trying to hold her shoulders and she was swinging at him.

    I don't know what he said or did but from what I saw that is no reason to get authorities involved.

    Swim Dad will be calling the Sidney Morning Herald to say they cost her a college scholarship.

    Doesn't look like a problem to me.

    Yep, just old-school coaching and parenting.

    I have a feeling there's a more damning video out there, but that was the best I could find.

    It's been more than a year since I've gotten that phone call, and I sure don't miss it.
