[quote=Anonymous]It's worth trying it and seeing if your kid likes it. We required all our kids to do it for one season because it really teaches them how to swim proficiently. One kid turned out to be a very good swimmer and is still doing it as an older teen. He has a lot of other interests so has never made it the center of his summer life. He goes to practice, swims at the meets, and has a good time. Doesn't hang around at the pool all day, etc. One kid hated it and just did the one season. One kid really loved it when younger and made a ton of friends and embraced the social side of things but then dropped off as a teen because not a great swimmer. If you are at a big pool with a strong team, which has a lot of advantages, the team will really thin out when they are teens. The kids who aren't doing A meets tend to drop it as an activity. Just go in with no expectations and see how your kid likes it. [/quote]
