[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty well understood that summer swim is tons of fun and winter swim can be a grind. For kids that have tons of fun in the summer and join a winter team, how many stick it out for the season and year over year? How many drop and just stick to summer swim? Is there an age where kids start dropping to focus on other sports (I imagine when practice schedules significantly ramp up for swim)? [b]How long can kids continue to do multiple sports if they also want to swim?[/b][/quote]

My kids did multiple sports until HS. At that point, they were in a swim group that required full commitment. However, other options were available. Our club, and others, have a HS group meant to accommodate kids who want to continue other sports. [/quote]

This- the bigger clubs have multiple levels so kids can stay with the club and select the intensity level they want as they get older and refine their priorities (as low as 1x per week minimum for HS aged kids at our club, in the lowest-intensity groups). This is one of the reasons we picked a bigger club for our kid.[/quote]
