I would do this but for the meets. They're all over (long drives sometimes), and long. [/quote]

There are plenty of swim teams where you're not expected to go to meets.  Most summer swim teams would be happy to have your kids come to practice and not swim at meets.  Of course, your kids might want to go to the meets, which is a different story.[/quote]

We just did our first swim team at the county pool and they were great.  We did not do meets and they had the older team members working 1-1 or 1-2, sometimes 1-3 with the younger kids.  The older one teamed with my child made it fun, instructed him while walking beside him (he was tired from his practice) and eventually he'd get in and swim next to my child.  There was no pressure to do meets and everyone was very supportive as long as your kid tried.[/quote]
