[quote=Anonymous]OP, if I had taken my club swimmer out of the pool, he'd have shut down! That said, it does take a lot of time. My kid learned a lot of discipline from swimming, especially once he really started lifting weights on top of all of the in water practices. I also have HS freshman DS who is a swimmer with ADHD. (That kid is medicated for both ADHD and depression.) He has pared his sports down to just swimming because that's how he functions best. But he absolutely has time to do more than just school and swimming. Talk to your son and see what he values. Now that he's made some friends, which activities make him happiest? How does he want to spend his time? Have this discussion in conjunction with his course selection for next year. Does he have time for a lot of honors/AP classes if he wants to swim and keep going with the other sports? If you start discussing things early enough, he will have time to let the choices marinate and make a well reasoned decision.[/quote]
