[quote=Anonymous]My kid loves swimming and is good at it. She has only ever taken lessons (learn to swim, then stroke and turn). She's 8. We considered doing summer swim but logistically couldn't make it work. I also worried about the competitive environment -- she is developing good sportsmanship but can be a perfectionist and very hard on herself, and I think constantly being rated for A or B team or relays would stress her out a lot. Club swim is an option but we're reluctant to move to multiple days a week at this age, plus meets. Are there clubs that just do two days a week with minimal meets? OR, would it be okay to just keep doing lessons until she's older, probably middle school? She enjoys it and continues to improve, she likes the current frequency, she has expressed no interest in competing. If we just stick with lessons now, will that make it impossible for her to make, for instance, a HS team later, if she wants that?[/quote]
