[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know that the majority kids after doing all this for years end up quitting and never swimming in college. Chose accordingly. [/quote]

The majority of kids in any sport don't play in college, but at least they can gain a usable skill from swimming. There isn't much opportunity for recreational fencing or lacrosse as adults.[/quote]

Yeah but once you learn how to swim and can do laps what is the point of competitive swimming if its just about learning the skill ?[/quote]

You could literally ask that question for every single skill in life, and the answer is to… compete.[/quote]

+1. People love doing all sorts of things - they knit, they collect bottle caps, they dress up as furry animals. So yes, some people love to swim fast and compete. I didn’t love it, but two of my kids happened to, and they have also picked up other water activities easily like rowing, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, water skiing, wake boarding, scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, parasailing, water polo, kite surfing etc. Their confidence in the water made it easier to enjoy a lot of other water activities with friends and family.
