[quote=Anonymous]On our summer swim team, any kid with his ability that was younger than 10 would not even be permitted to be on the swim team. With a kid his age, we'd hesitate to put him on pre-team because of the age difference. The coaches would likely direct him to a "storke and turn" class that we offer. They might also let him give swim team a try. Kids that age that are very motivated can make fast progress. However, it sounds like he will not be. Fins is a great suggestion in Montgomery County or Tollefson Swimming. Forcing him to struggle in the 9-10 practice where he won't be able to keep up this summer is likely not a good plan. Kids that are behind the others can fare ok if they want to be there. [/quote]
