[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asa tryouts have passed and they are a small club without space.  Unless your 8 year old is winning all their A meet races they won’t take you

And like PP said, winter swim is a different beast than summer.  It’s not fun for kids or parents.  You do it to improve and to crush summer swim and maybe swim in high school.  But just because  your child likes A meets doesn’t mean winter swim is for them  [/quote]
I hate when people spew this nonsense. Winter swim is not for everyone, just like volleyball or lacrosse or basketball isn’t for everyone, but there are plenty of kids that love club swim because they love the sport. A stroke program can be good for kids new to swimming, but if part of what your kid likes about swimming is the competition, a stroke class probably isn’t what you’re looking for. There are plenty of clubs in this area for kids of all abilities that also participate in meets. So much is dependent on what your kid likes about swimming and what they want to do with it. [/quote]

No one would argue that winter swim is as fun as summer, but at the end of the day, swimming is swimming. If your kids favorite part of summer swim is the swimming and competition, then they will most likely like year-round swim. And there are other positive intangibles on many 8&under winter teams (swim friends and camaraderie, winning ribbons and medals, many 8&u teams do some social events throughout the year, etc).
