[quote=Anonymous]If you are a SAHM then I would have your son do morning swim practice which is when most kids do it. they also tend to have that every day versus at our pool where they only have afternoon practice for kids who go to camp 2 days a week. Kids make more progress the more they practice/swim. our pool also has Friday fun practice that the kids enjoy.

As far as being part of the team and feeling like they are part of the team, practice is practice. They will feel more like part of the team when they swim in the meets.  i would definitely recommend that no matter how good your kid is or isn't that they swim in the meets. Our pool has "B"/"developmental meets" for kids who don't make the top team and anyone who want to swim in these meets can swim regardless of ability. Our pool even had a separate 6 under age category in which kids who weren't totally comfortable swimming the length of the pool could have a coach/older swim team member swim with them.  At 6 my son loved swimming in these meets and being part of the team in this way.

You do not need to volunteer at the main meets if your child isn't swimming unless you really want to.
