[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Winter swim is very boring. Swimming has only worked for us as a second sport. The 6 weeks in the summer is great but the rest of the year is too boring and your kid will miss out on all the other great sports. York swim club had some retreats that were fun. That was about it. If your kid isn't in the top group they will have random classmates and not a lot of team building. I guess it depends where you live but in our area kids are pretty nice to each other on group sports teams. I think one individual sport and one team sport is a great way to balance sports culture and keep fit and coordinated. [/quote] I love watching swimming, and my best advice is to start leaning it and watching professional meets (not just the Olympics). That makes meets more palatable. As for kids being bored, I suspect that may be when you move to a new sport and drop swim. For us, we make it work where our child has an arts area of her extracurricular life (eg, theatre, dance, music, etc) and a swim area, so that keeps things fresh. Sounds like you are doing that too! [/quote] My kid is a club college swimmer and I still love watching and working swim meets. You get it or you don't. [/quote]
