[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a summer swim team family. Two kids that swim, two parents that help a lot. We made the kids do it their first two years because we wanted them to become strong swimmers. They stayed well past it because they love it. Not all aspects of it, of course, but so many.

If they want to quit, we will let them. No need to stay if it’s miserable—to what end? Plenty of other activities out there.[/quote]

Ditto this. We made our kids do it at 6 and 7 because we go to the beach and wanted them to be strong swimmers. Both ended up being top swimmers in their age groups and have done divisionals and all star relays…but at 12 and 10 they are losing interest.

We are fine with them being done next year if they want to be done. DD has another sport that requires a week long competition out of state in July and DS main sport starts early August now.

If your kid isn’t enjoying it, definitely don’t push it because it’s so parent volunteer heavy you will be miserable too if he isn’t having fun. [/quote]
