[quote=Anonymous] Would ask yourself what you want to get out of it, how good of a swimmer your child is, whether you can commit to being there nearly everyday, and what division the pool is in.  If your goal is to go when you can, have your kid have fun, do weekly (B) meets in Monday nights, and enjoy the social aspect, join, if you can get your kid to the practices and meets!  If your goal is for your child to improve at swimming and you can get to most practices and meets, join!  If your child is a really good swimmer or developing into a really good swimmer, you need to think about the division the swim team is in, how fast general swimmers are in that age range for A meets, and whether your child can be okay possibly not being a star for a year or two.  We definitely have kids who are 6 who make it to A meets, but our pool is a division 1 team.  That same kid may not make any A meets as a 9 year old when swimming with 10 and some 11 year olds with good summer birthdays and she may feel poorly.  [/quote]
