[quote=Anonymous]where in the DC area can one do "high level" swim lessons?? OP, I would have him stick it out for the year (I assume it is a 9 mo program), and then it will be summer and he can do an outdoor swim team at your local pool. That may increase his confidence b/c most of the kids on the summer team will not have been doing year round swim team, so I suspect he will not place last in those meets. You can have some discussions with him at that time to point out how much he improved from last summer, thanks to the practice he was doing all year long on the indoor team. He may or may not want to sign up for the indoor team again next fall - at that point I would let him decide as I would say he's given it a fair shot. He may love swimming and just want to be on a team in the summer. He may love it and want swim team year round. Or he may decide such when he is a bit older. [/quote]
