[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does he NEED to be on the swim team????

We never did swim team as kids because my parents refused to go to events before 8am:).  All 3 of us are good swimmers.

Why can't he just swim for recreation and supplement with higher level swim lessons?

My kids play soccer, baseball and basketball---but we don't do swim year round, nor do we do swim team.

They are now strong swimmers--5 and 8.  Sometimes I will do a series of private lessons to work on stroke, etc.

I would much rather go out for a run than a swim.  Many people are this way.

I have met so many parents in this area that are so swim team-gung ho.  If a kid doesn't want to race, don't sweat it.[/quote]

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. What difference does it make whether he is doing soccer or basketball or running or swimming. The kid getting demoralized by poor performance can happen in any sport. [/quote]

I think the point is: find something HE likes doing![/quote]
