[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, wait until he is through his growth spurt before you write off swimming, OP! Especially if he enjoys it. My swimmer was always a really slow turtle. He spent years doing a lot of technique work. We got in the habit of reading results from the bottom up. Then he hit puberty and wow -- the effect of the testosterone is insane. He's in early HS now and getting A times regularly, making finals and dropping a ton of time every meet. Plus, he loves it. This is a sport he will do for his entire life and it will keep him in amazing shape. It also kept him sane through a pandemic. I don't care if he swims in college! He'll keep up this crazy schedule for as long as he wants to and then can dial it back to something reasonable. [/quote]
