[quote=Anonymous]The only thing that matters in your description of your child is that he enjoyed swimming. Being fast or middle of the pack or slow as an 8u isn’t important. Having an advantageous birthday is not a reason to choose a sport. And by the way, depending on when in July, it could be advantageous or not for USA swimming. Short course season ends in mid March and long course is mid to late July depending on where you are. Zones are often late july/early august. Find a club that isn’t too far away and doesn’t have unreasonable expectations for 8u. Ask around- that is the best way to figure out the culture of each team. Find parents who have the same priorities that you do and see where their kids swim. Since you belong to a summer swim club, I’m sure there are plenty of parents you can reach out to. You can also ask the summer swim director about the local clubs. [/quote]
