[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our team’s teen practice starts at the latest time and then many stay to help with the preteam. So 9:15-11:00am they are busy. They are finding it hard to figure out how to schedule the rest of their days. It’s hard to be a camp counselor or get a job with hours that start after noon and would have to leave early on Wednesday for B meets... Lifeguarding is a no go for them for various reasons. One kid will take health over the summer. The other is not.

What do your teens do during summer swim season BESIDES swim team obligations? If it’s unscheduled down time I would love to hear that. [/quote]

Lifeguarding is the easy answer.

But hang out at the pool with their friends. Go outside with friends and play sports. Bike, walk around. Go to the mall. Go to the high school and sneak in the building and walk around. Go to a sporting event. Go downtown for a day to museums.

You don’t need structured programming. Let them enjoy being kids and taking ownership in their own schedule. By teenage years mommy should be scheduling their every activity [/quote]
