[quote=Anonymous]OP, soccer and swim are very different sports, and I suspect your kids will start having a preference for one over the other within the next few years. One may choose soccer and the other may choose swim, or maybe they lose interest in both. When you’re 8 sports are still mostly fun and a little bit of hard work. As you get older, the training gets a lot harder and you have to push through adversity. Most people have a hard time pushing through that adversity if they don’t have a deep love for the day to day of what they are doing. Swimming in particular is pretty solitary and grueling as you get older. Yes, there’s a fun team aspect to it in high school and college. If you get to that point, but during practice, it is just you staring at a black line alone with your thoughts. Some people really love that but for kids who really like the interaction of a team sport that is not the most appealing. You really won’t know what your kids are going to like based on what practices and competitions look like at eight years old. It changes a lot. [/quote]
