[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 10 and 8 and I still go in to their swim practice. It's at a busy public rec center and they have to walk a decent ways from the drop off area to the pool. The pool is open for open swim, other teams, and lessons at that time. They are also navigating a public locker room. I do not sit there and watch - I usually the gym - but I do not leave the building and walk to the deck with them to ensure they get capped up etc and at the end, come into the pool to hustle them along to get ready to leave. I am in the minority of parents of kids their age (at least for DC10) but I observe some pretty obnoxious behavior from their peers that I believe wouldn't occur if adults were there. I also end up taking care of kids who are not mine but that I know for things like lost goggles, bloody nose, can't find their parent and need to call them, so and so called me a name and now I am crying, at least once a week.
