[quote=Anonymous]Swimming is a mandatory activity because the skill could one day save your child's life.

Fencing is a wonderful individual sport for a child, but realize it requires a lot of travel if you want to do it right (tournament circuit) and is very expensive (you'll want to pay for both private and group lessons, multiple times a week).  It's an excellent choice for both your son AND daughter - don't rule it out for girls!  And it's easier for you, commute wise, if you are going to a fencing club multiple times a week, to have your children do the sport at the same time.  Another bonus - fencing's something your child can enjoy his or her entire life. I see middle aged people fencing at our club every week.

Personally I loved the piano but this is just such a personal thing.  My child didn't take to piano despite my insisting on it for a couple years - but now adores the viola.  If that's what inspires her and gets her to practice, then that's great.  The only thing I would rule out is something like the trumpet or drums because it's just too loud for me to endure.[/quote]
