[quote=Anonymous]This has been re-hashed here numerous times. The reality is you can look up things like the A finalists in JO meets and see that those kids by and large stick with the sport and end up swimming in college. It’s nonsense to suggest that slower than B 12 year olds are going to all of a sudden set the world on fire in HS. In terms of engagement, if your kid truly loves it and is passionate about it, you don’t have to manufacture it. My kid loves it, I don’t have to do anything to encourage them to stay with it. I do let them skip practice when they say they need a day off. It doesn’t happen often, so when it does I always allow it, no questions asked. After age 12, your kid really should be driving things regarding their training. [/quote]
