[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grader just had his first hs swim meet last week. He is a year round swimmer who [b]goes to a school that doesn’t have a swim team, so he is swimming for a different high school[/b]. He had a blast. The kids were all cheering and screaming their lungs out, and even though my son didn’t know many of them, they were all so supportive and added him to their text chats and gave him high fives. Of course it depends on the team, but in his case, the kids are very nice, the coach is great, and it’s fun to be part of the team. Plus, high school meets are nice and short! Looking forward to the next hs meet already![/quote]can you tell me more about how you do this? DC’s eventual HS does not have a swim team - I am curious about this option.[/quote]

I’m not in dmv. In my state, if you attend an independent or charter school without a team for your sport, you can play for the high school that you are zoned for. In our case, my kid goes to a private school without a team, swims for the local club, and is able to swim for the local high school. Contact the high school athletics governing body for your state and read the bylaws. I forgot to add that homeschooled students may also do this.

We had to get a letter from the private school, giving permission to participate, and the athletic director at the public high school had to sign off,  but it was fairly straightforward. I think we also had to submit proof of address to show that we are zoned for the public high school. [/quote]
