[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What to do if 12 yo child did not make ASA Jr team but wants to swim 4 times a week? Wants to be on a team?[b] Has the capacity and genetics (both bio parents were division one athletes)[/b] to excel but needs an opportunity to be taught and practice.  He has some form issues that were not addressed in once a week stroke and turn clinics. He’s currently taking private lessons.   He’s signed up to tryout for RMSC in August but that’s just as doubtful.  I regret not accepting offered spots on teams when he was little but can’t do anything about that now. Do you have suggestions based on experience w your child?[/quote]

OP, is this about your kid wanting to become a better swimmer or you wanting to raise an athlete?[/quote]

I think if her 12 yo didn’t want to swim, he wouldn’t be attending tryouts. OP didn’t mean to say she was pushing him or something [/quote]

OP.  Since you asked, my son has told me he wants to swim —I am attempting to help him without breaking his desire (because he’s not making it with tryouts.) If I were pushing him I’d having him play football or basketball. I am following his lead.  [/quote]

Hey, forget about those big teams stroke classes, it's just money making. You still didn't send me an email - will tell where to look. [/quote]
