[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And yet I do not think that the parents who willingly pay $2,000+ in annual fees to swim programs for their kids to socialize and become "better" swimmers, would necessarily make the same investment for their child to become "better" in the academics or arts. [/quote] You might be surprised. While my child's year-round swim fees are less than $2,000, we pay more than her swim fees for art instruction, and we pay about the same as we pay in swim fees for music instruction. I do believe you'll find different families prioritize different things (we do not, for example, pay for out-of-school language instruction, because my child has shown minimal interest in it and we find we prioritize other things), but many families - including swim families - prioritize other things in addition to swim.[/quote]
