[quote=Anonymous]Our kids love swim team.  NVSL team.  Not Division 1 or 2.  All heats in every B meet are timed, so each kid gets a time.  We encourage our kids to strive to beat their own time, i.e., improve as swimmers.  We don't pay much attention to how they rank up against other swimmers.  The daily practice pays off;  I do not think the kids would swim as well as they do if we stuck with the weekly lessons at the Rec Center.

It's not just about swimming.  The coaches are super-positive and know the kids' names (all the kids).  They have friends from school and have met new friends from other schools.  Kids also have non-swim team friends.  I have met several families through swim team - volunteering together, seeing each other at meets, etc. - that I may not have gotten to know just from going to the same pool (in part because I work and do not go to pool every day).

I don't doubt we could have had a less positive experience with swim team at another pool or with different coaches.  If swim team works for your family, great.  If not, hopefully you can still enjoy what your pool has to offer.    [/quote]
