[quote=Anonymous]DS9 really hates swimming if the pool is cold. This summer he hated swim team because the outdoor pool was usually cool in the evenings or mornings, and he wanted to quit but we convinced him to stay with it since he is really good. He qualified for A team meets but didn't go after the first event because the water was cold early in the morning. He was shaking/shivering uncontrollably after the one event he did so we had to leave. He's in a year-round swim program and is complaining about the water being cold. I wondered if it's because he is skinny, but I see kids with similar build and they are okay. Is this something he has to get used to or does this mean swimming is just not for him? I have thought about getting him a wetsuit for practice, but since he can't use it in a competition, I don't think it's worth it. Was anyone else like this and eventually adjusted to the cold? Anything I can do to help him adjust to the cold water?[/quote]
