[quote=Anonymous]If your kids are interested in swimming, inquire with your pool reps now. Even though summer swim has ended, our swim team also does winter swim (geared more towards the younger swimmers (typically 4-12) to get them proficient in the water and swimming regularly). It’s a nice way to get to know the younger coaches, see pool friends, and is usually pretty reasonable for weekly practice sept-May.

I agree with the PPs. At our pool, swim team is a community! The commitment can be intense: daily practice, 1 B meet (open to all swimmers) per week, 1 A meet (for selected swimmers), a Friday pep rally. But the positives outweigh any of that. It’s really social for both the kids and the parents! My kids get to know the older swimmers on the team, who teach them cheers and who encourage them during the meets. It’s fun to see your swimmer drop time week over week and see their hardwork pay off. And when we go to the pool, they now have so many swim team friends who they go off to play with. I’ve grown my social circle too. It’s a fun community and summer swim is one of my favorite times of year.[/quote]
