[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to consider when other kids are starting a sport. While you can pick up some things at 7/8 if other kids have been doing it for 3-4 years your kid will be behind. My daughter started ballet at 4. Now at 7 she is in an "advanced" class. A 7 year old just starting at her studio would be placed in a class with much younger kids. We started swimming lessons very young and that was well worth it. She could fully swim when some other kids her age we afraid to put their face in the water. At 7 years old there's a clear divide between kids who have done extensive lessons and those who have not. Its the difference between free roaming of our neighborhood pool including the deep end or being tied to a parent or the shallow end. You have to find the balance between not pushing them to hard when they are young but not letting them get behind. [/quote]
