[quote=Anonymous]Our team has had winter swim for years. Many of the kids wouldn't be swimming off season at all otherwise. With only one day a week and lots of weekends when our host pool can't accommodate us, it isn't going to make our swimmers Olympic qualifiers. But, it keeps the kids in contact with each other and helps the kids retain their hard-earned prowess. It does help the younger kids get legal in new strokes and get used to swimming the longer distances as they move up in age groups. Although not required, many kids wear their team suits to winter swim. I LOVE that! Their pride in being on our team re-affirms our loyalty. I require my kids to participate in at least one competitive sport during the school year. They, hands down, chose swimming. So, they swim & compete in PVS too.[/quote]
