[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far no one has mentioned they regretted having their kids in club swimming..I have a 9 year old in club swimming so good to hear! Although the time commitment gets pretty brutal by the teen years, no one regrets it?[/quote] I enjoyed swimming when I was a kid, but I definitely regret swimming in high school. The time commitment was insane preventing me from trying other clubs and activities, and I found it hard to be a part of other friends groups besides the swim team. Being in a swimsuit daily and a coach who thought he had the right to monitor our weight caused body image problems that lead to an eating disorder. Morning practices meant I was always sleep deprived. My skin was always dry and I smelled like chlorine, and the chlorine fumes would sometimes mess with my lungs and eyes during practices. It all ended up being for nothing because I was so burnt out and decided to pass on a college swimming scholarship. [/quote]
