Then you can do this other places/other times.  It's not as though you have a strong connection with this church or temple if you don't go regularly and are only really using the youth education aspect.[/quote]

I think it's probably easier for someone who is non religious to teach swimming than it is for them to teach religion, and potentially a language (if we're talking about Hebrew school too).

OP, if this was a one season thing (e.g. U9 soccer conflicts with 3rd grade Hebrew school, and from then on it's fine) then I think the suggestion to get a private tutor or homeschool for religious school would be great, but it doesn't sound like that's the issue.  If there's swimming practice for 8 year olds, there will probably be practice for 9 year olds.  I'd look for a new swimming program that is either more flexible if there's a confict, or consistently practices on days or times that work.  Or, if that's impossible, I'd look for a new religious school.  Both swimming team and religious schools are about community, so I'd want to find places where he could stay long term, but at the same time one move at age 8 wouldn't bother me.[/quote]
