[quote=Anonymous]Swim team is about the strokes, not water games, so that sounds typical. Our swim team does have more fun practices on Fridays during the summer (e.g. belly flop contests). One reason to focus on freestyle is that there are more kids swimming freestyle in races than the other strokes, at least in our league. So the team needs at least six strong freestyle swimmers for each group, compared with three backstrokers. As for breaststroke and butterfly, it's harder for young kids to do them correctly and not get disqualified in a race. Swim team coaches can help them improve, but swim lessons are probably even better for that.[/quote]
