[quote=Anonymous]Your kids are the perfect for pre-team/swim team!

Our family did it for the first time this year and it was really fun. I have zero experience with swim so I signed them up with the goal of being water safe and I was surprised at how social the whole experience was. It felt like summer camp. The kids had an hour practice every morning. Then there was a B meet on Wednesday night which goes from 5 - 9pm, then a pep rally Friday afternoon. There were also popsicle outings and social gatherings for the kids separate from official practice. Obviously, this means you need a SAH parent (or very flexible WFH parent) to take the kids to the pool all the time. You also need to volunteer a significant amount, 6 jobs is fairly common but some pools require less. They can’t run meets without parental support. Overall, it wasn’t a big deal to help time while your kid swims or set up ribbons or whatever.

Check your pool website, there’s usually a handbook with swim team information. There was another recent thread with swim team cost and it’s fairly cheap at around $200 (on average) for the season. [/quote]
