[quote=Anonymous]With the letters you're quoting I'd say you're MCSL? I'm sure much of this would apply in other leagues as well, though. Quite often you can't just join any given summer swim team: if you have to be a pool member, you're looking at trying to find a pool with openings (sometimes hard) and potentially paying a new joining fee, as well. Then there's the commute: with many summer swim teams practicing 2x/day (although not everyone of course attends every practice), you might be calculating drive distance and time, as well. As PP indicated, there's a lot to be said for summer swim that doesn't have much to do with the competitions. The best-case scenario is positive involvement and growth in the sport in the midst of a community that you and your family enjoy. You can't always bring that about by shopping pool divisions. If you really want your swimmer to be powering up and cutting time, you might prefer a year-round team to trying to game summer swim. But again, as PP suggested, the summer season is a short burst of joy in the middle of a hard work cycle. Don't depend on it to make your child a swimmer - depend on it to make them love swimming.[/quote]
