[quote=Anonymous]Our child swims at a D3 school. She loves the activity, and the discipline of being on a team is great for her. The team isn't great but she really has enjoyed visiting other schools, participating in competition meets, etc. And here's the thing -- "Not very good" in Northern Virginia might actually be "pretty darned awesome" in some other part of the country that doesn't take swimming (or life) quite so seriously. This is also true for music, drama, etc. She said she'd always thought of herself as 'not very good' at swimming compared to her peers in high school, but was surprised to find that she was more than adequate at her college. There are lots of people in Ohio, Michigan, etc. who don't go to swim clinics starting when they're three, don't get private lessons when they're two and who still swim in high school. COmpared to those kids, your daughter will be just fine..[/quote]
