[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although this sounds crazy, it will be hard to join a team in 1-2 years, at least for your older child.  Most teams are fairly full by then and expected to swim 100s at meets.  My daughter was in year round lessons as well as a strong summer swimmer and the clubs simply didn’t have room.

Just a thought that you may want to look into a team now.

Good luck!

I was going to say the same team. Lots and lots of kids (most?) kids in the DC area start summer swim at 5 and club swim by 6 or 7. It’s hard to break in later.[/quote]

For Virginia both your kids are fine and if they swim over winter will be great for summer.  Summer swim in Virginia starts 4-7 years of age.  But club?  You can have 12 years old that are athletic summer swimmers join. Unless DC is radically different.  A lot of kids will winter swim one day a week to keep their skills their but true competitive swim can be later unless you want burn out.  There are a million threads on this. [/quote]
