[quote=Anonymous]Can someone walk me through the basics of how swim teams work?  My 7 year old finally really learned to swim fairly well and enjoy it this summer, and since she's not really into team sports in general, I thought joining a swim team (ideally a low-key one) might be a nice middle ground where she's still getting a "team" experience.  But I have almost no idea what that actually involves.

Would we have to join a private pool or can we do it at a public one?  Is it possible to only practice once or twice a week, or does it have to be more?  Are there evening practices, or only morning ones?  Is it really expensive?  How much of the day should we expect meets to take up? I hear the parent-volunteering requirements are pretty intense, what does that look like?  What's the difference between summer swim team and school-year?  Are there even low-key swim teams out there at all, or is this just going to be too intense/demanding for us?

(We're in Silver Spring near the Beltway, if that matters.)  [/quote]
