[quote=Anonymous]Counter to above: My child LOVES everything about swim. Her best friends are there. She loves the coaches, the early and late practices, the meets, etc. So, it really is child-driven. Culture wise, we have met our best friends during club season. We are involved parents, I officiate, my husband occasionally times, and we never miss a meet. We sit with our friends, whose kids have swum with our child since they were 7. Luckily, the friends are mostly similar swimmers, so they moved into the same group together for the next year. A few best friends have moved or left the sport, and that’s been really hard for my child because she loves these girls so much. She likes club swim better than summer swim in many ways, but she swims long course too, so there’s no break from club friends. The parents are lovely. I have seen far more competitive parents in other areas (not just sports, but the arts and academics), and I adore the parents are our club. Only occasionally can I walk in and sit to watch practice, but I never end up watching because it’s an adult catch-up fest. [/quote]
