[quote=Anonymous]I am the mom of a HS swimmer too. It feels pretty brutal and I feel for the pp who said his mom would not drive him. I don't think my mom would have either if I was into swimming at that age. My kid loves swimming but it frustrates me how time consuming it is - 5,6 days a week for 11 months a year. It is hard to do anything else which is hard if you don't want to or aren't good enough to swim in college. I make sure my kid gets to practice but I can't stand swim meets and always skip them. Just do curbside drop off and pick up. My husband will go watch a meet occasionally. I'm wondering if that makes us bad parents. I hope not but I am sick of how swimming has taken over our kids life. We could not even go over for winter break as apparently that is a super important training time and your spring season is doomed if you miss winter break training. Whatever! It does get a bit much. Upside is my kid loves it and I don't have to worry about them partying too much as there is hardly any free time. We used to carpool but other kids quit and now we don't have anyone very close by.[/quote]
