[quote=Anonymous][quote]True of some winter swim teams, but not all. Some of the bigger ones have a developmental group for 8 & under and some also have a pre-team stroke improvement program that is run like a cross between team and lessons. Just look around a little. [/quote] Yes, but honestly, even the stroke clinics are physically demanding. My 7 year old son is relatively uncoordinated, but not necessarily unathletic. He did the Marlins clinic last year, and though he enjoyed it by the end, he got a lot of cramps at the beginning and was exhausted afterwards. It is pretty much 45 minutes of nonstop lap swimming. We also had to adjust when he ate breakfast (which was several hours before) so he did not feel nauseous. It did make him a much stronger swimmer, though. We would have signed him up again if the schedule had not changed. [/quote]
