[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep up swimming. That is important for safety. Do not worry about the other stuff. [/quote] Agreed. One of my kids was sort of into the idea of trying soccer. But it would have caused me to leave work early too much and also meant disrupted dinners and weekends for the family. Potentially from 1st grade to 12th. I decided it wasn't worth it. It's not worth it for college apps unless your kid is really, really good. Neither my husband nor I were in team sports. So we knew it's not essential to a happy childhood. I agree that swimming is important for safety. So our kids had Saturday swim lessons in seasons that were convenient for our family until they completed the full class sequence. That was further than necessary but we do value exercise and they liked it. They never asked to do swim team. At the middle school and high school level, track is an inexpensive sport you can pick up at an older age.[/quote]
