[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is an 8th grader and has never swam competitively before. We’re looking at Arlington and Alexandria privates for high school next year. He expressed interest in swimming next year, and I would like for him to try it. I have no illusions that he’s going to be a champion swimmer, but I’m hoping he can make the team. We’re new to this—what’s the best place to start? Some private lessons—any recommendations of a coach who does this? A class? What about a club team this Spring or Summer? I’m guessing it’s too late for winter. Ideally based out of Long Bridge or somewhat nearby? But we can be flexible too. We’re very new to this (obviously!)—any advice is helpful. [/quote] He should join the no-cut middle school swim team to see if he likes it as a sport. The six Arlington public middle schools have competitive swim/dive. The friendly competition among the schools is good. [/quote]
