[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How good a swimmer does a child need to be to be part of a decent suburban high school swim team (not the best, just part of a team)? How much practice and money is involved?[/quote] The high school teams are very inclusive, and put the talent of both active and "retired" club swimmers to good use. I have also seen swimmers with little formal experience enjoy the high school swim team. You generally practice 2 hours a day, 4-5 days a week in season, plus time spent attending the swim meets. The costs are relatively low for a team suit, cap, shirt, outerwear like sweats or a long coat, and your goggles of course. [/quote]
