[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad I passed on swim team with my kids.  I actually didn't ask them if they wanted to join,[b] but swim team sounds brutal- practice everyday and marathon meets on Saturday. [/b] I can get there being such a commitment for a high school team, but on our neighborhood team most of the team is under 10-years-old.  FWIW, and I am an exercise nut, swimming is the most boring form of exercise on the planet.  I know it's great for your body, low impact...etc, but swimming bores me to tears.[/quote]

Summer Swimming is one of the least brutal sports out there. practice usually runs 45 minutes to an hour depending on your age. The marathon swim meets? Start at 9 am and usually around 11:15 am.

[b]Sounds like your misconceptions are keeping your kids from trying something they might enjoy.[/quote][/b]

+100  You spend a longer time sitting around watching nothing happen at a little league game.

You seriously have no experience with baseball, which is not surprising. After 7, the kids can hit 200 feet throw 40, 50, 60 miles  and hour and turn double plays. There is very little sitting around.
