[quote=Anonymous]As a former swimmer I say be honest with the school and go to the meets. Swim meets were some of my most formative experiences as a middle and high schooler — particularly the ones where I didn’t do as well as I hoped and had to get myself back up for the next event or meet. It did not affect my academics negatively at all and I took multiple AP courses. I learned time management and how to communicate with my teachers about making up work. If your kid swims in college they will miss some classes for dual meets scheduled on Fridays and for invitational/championship meets. You have to communicate with professors about this in advance and are responsible for making up that work which can mean taking a test or turning in a paper early. Might as well work on some of these skills now if college swimming is a possibility. [/quote]
