[quote=Anonymous]We greatly enjoy our MCSL swim team (Division G).  We love that our kids get at least 1 hour of exercise every day at the pool and have a group of friends of all ages.

Our kids swim 2x per week in the winter and so usually qualify for A meets (at least at their age.)  They'd need to ramp that up to qualify for A meets as they get older.

I greatly admire the kids who do other sports and then just show up to swim in the summer.  It takes courage to get out there and swim a race.  They make the best of it and swim mainly in the B meets.

Our coaches are young and make it fun with trivia contests, FunDay Monday, pep rallies, raffles, etc.  At our end-of-season banquet, the coaches share a fun anecdote about every child and give them a cute little "award."

We are fortunate that our house is just 1.5 blocks from the pool and so my kids walk or bike to and from practice.  When we bought our house, we didn't realize how much we'd use the neighborhood pool but it's been a godsend to have it so close.[/quote]
