[quote=Anonymous]My advice would be to keep your son or daughter engaged in a mix of extracurricular choices in addition to year-round club swimming. If they excel at swimming and want to drop their other activities later on (13/14), then they can do so. If swimming turns out not to be the child's strength or favorite, then they still have other talents and interests to engage in. It is sad (to me) only when a young swimmer who has practiced for 20+ hours/week to the exclusion of everything else, stalls or fails to progress, and is then unhappy in the only activity they have known. Let your child pursue different interests until they are ready to decide which ones they really value.[/quote]
