[quote=Anonymous]I signed up for swim team when I was 15! They just opened a pool in our sub-division and my girlfriend talked me into it since she was going with her younger siblings. Granted, we were the only kids in our age bracket, and I hadn't swam since 2 or 3rd grade. It was great fun! But, a new sub-division pool is totally different from an established team. My current pool has a very good teen club & even dive team and what I did over 20 years ago would never fly. Make sure you pick a social club and that you have a supportive friend or two. I would sign them up. As I tell my DCs - I make them learn to swim, just like I make them wear a seatbelt - it could save their life, they need to know how to do it and be comfortable doing it.
