[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you say you joined the pool last summer. Did you talk to the coach, other parents, or observe the swimmers last summer or within the last year? And where did you son take his swim classes over the past year? It seems like this failure is a shock to you but if you’ve been a member and know lots of other 7yo on the team already it seems like you would have at least known he might not have made it? Or if you have a relationship with the coach, try to talk to him and get DS to join the lowest group.

Not blaming you at all but based on your own details this doesn’t seem to make sense. [/quote]

Well, I was under the impression that if you can make it across the pool safely you can be on the team. He only gained that skill over the summer last year.  I know the smaller kids on team look really good but didn't think that would exclude his participation. So I encouraged him to try out for the team this summer thinking that. He takes class at public swim center and is still learning breast and fly. [/quote]
