[quote=Anonymous]My family didn't even consider swim team until the kids were aged out of day camps, and old enough to walk to/from practice and spend the rest of the day at home while both parents were at the office. One kid wasn't interested in starting swim team at age 12, so never joined. The other kid joined and loves it. It took a couple years to catch up to his peers, but he eventually did. I know families who got a summer nanny, but we were never interested in giving up the day camps that our kids loved just so they could spend 45 minutes swimming laps mid-morning. And while the team advertises the option of evening practices, it's not the same - only a couple days a week and with a much smaller group, so they don't get the whole team dynamic. So, swim team when we needed full time childcare just didn't work for us. [/quote]
