Club swimming - one day a week?

[Anonymous]

Club teams helps kids improve by attending practices. The more practice, the more you improve. Doing something once a week doesn’t help you improve that much. Club swim is $$$. You will see the improvement. Also, club swim is deferent than summer swimming. The fun, themes, etc is much different. It’s just swimming.

AAC (Arlington) has mini gators, which is once a week for ages 6-9. It’s not that expensive for club swimming & keeps kids in the water year-round.

I would like to do 2 days a week but she also does other things - soccer, an afterschool club or two, Girl Scouts.

Another parent from our summer team offhandedly mentioned that doing club one day a week isn't worth it. Is that truly the case at her age?

My six year old also loved summer swim, but she did club the prior school year 2 days a week and enjoyed it. And yes, I did start my child in club swim at barely 6 years old. She has an 8 year old brother (now 9) who does club, and since I was already bringing him, why not.
