[quote=Anonymous]For the parent new in town and thinking of joining - I say go for it! It will likely be hard in the beginning (the pool is cold, your kids will be a bit behind, and not used to the intensity of practice) but if they can power through that, they’ll quickly improve their swimming and the social aspect is fantastic if you’re new in town, both for you and the kids. At least at our pool, it’s fun even for the kids that aren’t great swimmers, though going in new at 11 without knowing all the strokes might be hard as a kid. (Though definitely typical in the 8 and under group, and probably not uncommon in 9-10). I’d consider signing your kids up now for swim lessons so they get a bit better at their strokes ahead of summer. Stroke and turn clinics can be a good place to start, but private lessons would be great. You might also do lessons while doing the team to help catch them up. [/quote]
