[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 and under swimmer doing a once a week maintenance program with the summer swim team. They loved summer swim but aren't enjoying the winter program as much because it's more of a slog... just swimming back and forth and not really any fun stuff as a little break or at the end of practice.

I am well aware of the difference between summer swim and club swim, and that club is much more serious. But in my mind a good coach/club would keep in mind that the little ones are more likely to stay in the sport if they break up the work with some short games/fun or something to look forward to at the end of practice.

I'd be willing to try a club team next year if they are known for having a balance of solid technique work and fun for the youngest kids. Do any clubs in NOVA fit this description? [/quote]

They are there once a week for an hour - why not maximize that time for actual swim and the figure out times to fart around during the 100 or so available hours?
