[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid can only do afternoon practices and does not want to swim in meets. The coaches were totally fine with that. I wanted him to do swim team to become a strong swimmer, and not doing the meets was our compromise. Our pool is a lower level pool in the moco swim league, and I doubt DD would swim in the A meets anyway. [/quote]

That’s annoying. You should’ve just signed up for lessons. How is that part of a team? I would be mad that you are hogging up lane space because your child doesn’t even want to try a meet.[/quote]

Long time swim parent here and I would be happy that your kid was there.  It is great exercise, and your child may end up changing their mind.  Our coaches wouldn't care, although they might try to encourage them to try a meet.

One of my dds cried thru many practices and ultimately sat out and or skipped events (at B meets) because it was too much for her when she started.  She's now 11 and loves it and swims A meets, too[/quote]

Fair point. I would at least ask the child to go to the meets and cheer for his/her teammates.[/quote]
