[quote=Anonymous]DC is downshifting from club swimming next season.  They'll keep doing summer and HS swim over the next couple years before college.  They're just not up for the grind of club swimming anymore and the schedule of the lowest group of their current team is more than they want to swim.  As a decent but not elite swimmer, DC wants to keep doing some lower-key swimming over the school year to stay in shape somewhat; maybe 1-2X/week.  They would probably like to do a few PVS meets here and there but that seems unrealistic without being on a hardcore team.  And maybe the HS meets would be a sufficient competitive opportunity.

Has anyone's kid done this type of slower fade from swimming?  Are there options to do a low-key team that doesn't have a practice and meet commitment?  I'm somewhat familiar with most of the teams around here and am not seeing an obvious option.  After doing club swimming for many years, I think DC may find stroke clinics not challenging enough at any given practice, but maybe that's the only real option and just something they'll get used to.  Any ideas for options to explore?  We're in mid-MoCo (the 270 corridor).  [/quote]
