Rowing as a sport will make him tired. Kids don't start until high school, so no one is any good freshman year. There's something therapeutic about being out on the river doing an exhausting, rhythmic activity. You're part of a team/boat so you. It is 5 days a week + weekends but of you carpool with other parents it doesn't have to be a huge family commitment. TBC boat house hosts some learn to row programs in the summer and so do some high schools.

Swim team is also exhausting, as is cross country, if he likes to run.

OP here. I am a former rower myself and have actually tried swimming and rowing with him — he tried a learn-to-row program at Capitol Rowing Club last summer and didn’t like it (he is small, so he was coxing) and they also had them training in barges as opposed
to shells, which he said was boring, and erging on land, also not ideal. He wouldn’t go back.  But I might try again.

Swimming also doesn’t interest him— he isn’t great at it. although I 100% agree with you and even made him swim laps at the pool yesterday for an hour! A sibling is actually on swim team now and can swim circles around him, which doesn’t help. But I agree.

I am trying to encourage him to try Ultimate - it’s faster paced and newer so maybe not as competitive like soccer. At this point I just want him out of the house and away from screens. [/quote]
