[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm happy my kid enjoys swimming and it's good exercise and we finally have a great coach. I don't want my kid swimming in college as they have other interests and they aren't going to make it to the olympics nor would I want that life for them. We save for college so we aren't relying on scholarships. Real question is why are you asking and what is your ultimate goal?[/quote] Not the OP, or a parent of fast kids (yet) - I mostly want them to realize how much damn fun it can be to work hard as part of a team. How much confidence it can give someone. How good it is for your body. Yes, I know swimming is mostly individual, but I also think the best programs emphasize being part of something bigger. And winning can be such a fun experience, but it’s not the only worthwhile aspect of competitive sports. But yeah - also so glad my kids have solid coaches and are making friends. That’s what it’s about. [/quote]
