[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Club swimming is generally the most fun for the kids who are very good at it. I have one swimmer who is in the elite group for age, travels to NCSAs, Zones, and other big meets, has close friendships with others of the same level, and gets a lot of positive feedback and attention from coaches and others. I have another who is still pretty young but seems to be more on the middle track, decent but not a standout. That swimmer doesn’t enjoy it nearly as much and sometimes does t want to go to practice or meets. I can see them quitting after a few more years of this. [/quote]
This is spot on. My swimmer seems to genuinely love the sport itself but she is also getting to enjoy all club swimming has to offer because she is really good (travel to elite meets, she gets attention from the coaches, she’s formed good friendships with other talented kids from our club as well as from other clubs, etc.). But I can see how swimmers not at that level would get disenchanted or bored with the sport and move on. [/quote]
