[quote=Anonymous]The coaches job is to manage the team. Your job is to manage your child's schedule. The coach's job is to make sure that your child is the best swimmer that he can be. Not the most well rounded, or the best applicant for college, but the best swimmer. Your job is to do what you think is best for your child. If you want your child to be well-rounded, then take your child out of year-round swim and do only summer swim or find a less intense team/league. Then he can pursue other electives during the school year and seasonal swim during the summer. There are many kids to participate in one activity or elective, but do it well and they get into college and some even get scholarships for that elective. I also know plenty of kids who do summer swim only and then focus on other electives during the school year; and they go to college, too. So you make the decisions that are right for your child. It's not up to the coach to do that.[/quote]
