[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I had your problem OP. My oldest wants to quit and it’s making me sad. I think swimming is such a great sport and I wish they would continue regardless of their success or lack thereof. I would be so happy to have a kid who enjoyed swimming and wanted to stick with it!

We can swap spots.  After six years of this, I am ready to move on with my life.  It is not the money.  It is not the time demands.  It is not the coaches.  It is the toxicity of the community.  [/quote]
The important question is whether your kid finds the community toxic. If your kid is oblivious to whatever parental behind the scenes toxicity is there, then the answer is for you to step back, not pull your kid out of an activity they enjoy. Seriously, you don’t need to engage with the other parents. Volunteer, only come in to the pool area to watch your kid’s race and otherwise take a walk or read a book, etc. There are lots of things you can do to avoid the nonsense in the bleachers. [/quote]

Best advice here.[/quote]
