[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Sports is his weakness due to his low muscle tone. Swimming is not his only exercise, and he also does summer kayaking, spring/fall soccer, spring/fall/winter basketball and full year indoor rock climbing. He is the type that enjoys taking lessons in group and he never practices for a second outside of his lesson time. He just takes any sports for fun. All of his free time are screentime, boardgame, chess or reading. His academic is all As on report card, and he also never spends a minute to study. His life is just playing and having fun. I feel like working hard is so tough to him, and I worry what he will become because he does not like to take challenges or working hard. [/quote]

Maybe an instrument taught at a high level? My daughter is gifted and I realized early on that she needed one activity that would be a constant challenge, so I started her in violin lessons at a young age, and she takes lessons with a very demanding teacher. The rest of her life is spent having fun, even now as a high schooler taking advanced courses, because everything comes easy. The violin is essentially an activity that teaches her to strive and to accept failure gracefully, because sometimes she doesn't get the concertmaster position, or doesn't win a competition.

It doesn't need to be swim team.
