[quote=Anonymous]Here's a question for those who have been on a crew team and recommend the sport.

We are applying to some private schools for the fall of 2016 for 8th grade for my DS.  Unfortunately, I noticed several of the schools do not offer a crew team.

Our other option is to go to our local public school -- Bethesda-Chevy Chase (BCC) High School, which I understand has a great crew program.

We are planning to apply to private schools becases we are just concerned that our son needs a bit of guidance in school to succeed, as school does not come easily to him.  He puts in a lot of effort to get his grades, and it can be a frustrating experience.  (We will send our other two children to BCC eventually because school seems to come easily to them and therefore we think that they can succeed at BCC.)

But we would love our DS to have the crew experience, and he really enjoyed a crew summer camp that he did.  (He's tall and in good shape from 4 years of year-round swimming on a competitive team.)

Do kids that do club teams still have fun, even though they don't have the special experience of rowing for their own school?  Thank you.

(My DH and I are new to crew, but are impressed at how much people who have rowed seem to love it!)
