[quote=Anonymous]I have two competitive swimmers and I learned that you either live it or hate it, not much in between. My kids hate the practices, so I cut back on those, but they love to compete. They are in middle school and I reduced the year round swimming because it was beginning to interfere with homework and other extracurriculars. One thing their coach warned against was burnout before high school when they can swim for their high school team. However, I agree that if your child has been swimming for a number of years and you are not seeing the progression and the drive or interest, then I would not force your child to continue. They should engage in an activity or sport they enjoy.[/quote]
