[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this would be feasible nowadays, but one of the most fun things I remember my winter club doing was the overnight lock in thing someone else suggested. I can’t remember if I actually stayed the night — that might have only been for the older kids. But I remember being in the pool at like 9 or 10 pm and thinking that was so cool and fun. It was like a big pool party with food/drinks in another room nearby.

I don’t agree that fun events aren’t part of winter swim. They absolutely were when I was a kid and I think it’s one of the reasons I stuck with swimming. The coaches understood it should be fun for 12 and unders. Then when it starts to feel like work, you are hooked and keep with it because you love the sport. We are losing sight of this in youth sports. If you are talented you will rise to the top once you really start putting in the work. Too many 10 year olds whose parents treat the sport like it’s the kid’s job. I blame social media clout chasing. [/quote]
