[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP did your child do a summer swim team?  If not, then definitely get him into summer swim in 2020 and have him go to all the practices and all the meets.  Between now and then I would suggest doing what your family can - clinics, private, personal training on the side.  Also, think about cross training opportunities, running, weight lifting, other sports on the rec level.  Whatever keeps him using his body, gaining muscle mass and most importantly having FUN.

There is a lot to be gained from letting your kid do multiple sports and avoid early burn out.  
My child did summer swim for years and years and only recently had the desire for a winter team when he had consistently done well in summer swim and wanted to stretch beyond that.  His summer swim performance is what go him into winter swim.  Don't underestimate what it can do for a kid who arrives at day one of summer already is great shape.

His progress in the summer very much depends on a summer team quality. Many swimmers don’t get much from summer league. Rockville Rays offers decent workouts [/quote]
