[quote=Anonymous]The example of a kid being threatened with losing their IPad illustrates how little you know about teens swimming at a high level That kind of motivation will not motivate you to work hard for a 2:00 practice 6 days a week, which scholarship-bound HS swimmers have to do. If it's not your kids thing, that is fine. But, there is value in it for others and it's often not about the money. Please put a calendar item on your calendar to revisit this posts in 6 years. I'm pretty sure you will laugh at yourself and your understanding of parenting teens. If a kid being too motivated at their sport such that it annoys the summer swim team parents is your biggest concern, you will have done a pretty good job. And BTW part of the value of summer swim team is the opportunity to socialize with your peers and with kids of other ages. The teens socializing with each other is not a bad thing. Believe it or not, the entire team does not revolve around your 10 year old.[/quote]
