[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all the responses.  DD has always been adamantly against joining the swim team and I could completely understand why it would terrify her.  In terms of inviting friends, we do do that sometimes but reaching out to a friend is also sometimes hard for her.  The reason I was thinking we might join a different pool is that there's another one close to us that one of her good friends belongs to, but not many other kids from our school go to. I don't think her issue at our current pool is that she doesn't do swim team while others do; it's that she sees so many girls from her grade all hanging out together and she doesn't have the confidence to join in.  At this other pool, she wouldn't feel quite so outside, you know?  Anyway, it's moot until next summer but just something I was thinking about.  Not to mention that the other pool costs about half as much for a membership as ours, and if she is going to feel anxious and not want to go, I'd rather not flush all this money down the drain next summer.
