[quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts- Re: "but then some of them don't"- after around age 9, this is not true. All of the good swimmers swim winter, and it becomes hard to catch up later if there is not some background of winter swimming. Practice amount- 1-2x week is fine for an 8&u. 2 is optimal, but 1 is much better than none. Teams- Many teams are full for the coming seasons. ASA just cut lots of swimmers due to lack of space. Additional teams that have not been mentioned are: Machine, Best Times, BCC YMCA, Silver Spring YMCA, Sea Devils, Joe Flaherty's dolphins. Many teams are good and what is best for you will depend on individual fit (especially things like location, timing, friends on the team). Don't fall into the trap of thinking that one of these teams will somehow make your kid much faster than any other team. Any winter swimming is better than none, and the more fun and least stressful, the more they will want to stick with it.[/quote]
