[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks all.  I sounded unclear about summer vs club swim because I was/am unclear.  We have never done any kind of swim team before, just lessons, so I'm still trying to understand what the options are in order to figure out what might work for us.

It sounds like if we want to start with something low-key and fun, we should just wait for next summer and see how she likes it, is that right?  In an ideal world we'd start sooner but I don't want to turn her off the whole idea if the school-year options aren't the best starting point.

And then you basically have to join a private pool to get the summer swim team experience, is that right?  (Or would the summer options at the Silver Spring YMCA or the public pools still be fun?)  Any suggestions for SS/Wheaton area pools that have no wait list, evening practices, aren't picky about kids attending every practice, and have a fun swim team atmosphere for an 8 year old joining as a newbie?  (The pool where most of the neighborhood kids go has a huge waitlist so that's out.)[/quote]
