[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious. How many posters here have had kids swimming D1? Full scholarship? Looking back, was it worth it? [/quote] Why is the only end goal a scholarship or playing a D1 sport? There is a lot more to sports, and all sorts of hobbies, than the goal of making it to the top. I run. I will never win a race. I still wouldn't say that getting up early to run or train for a race isn't worth it just because I won't win. It still give me a sense of accomplishment even if I will never be at the top I feel the same way about my kid's sports and activities. My son loves swimming and feels a great sense of pride when he drops time and pushes past what he thought he was capable of. He occasionally misses a day of school for a big meet and we sacrifice our weekend at may swim meets. I don't always want to, but it's important to him and makes him happy. [/quote]
