My three youngest participated in the swim team this year. We didn't come away with any blue ribbons, but it was a great experience. Here's why:
*they all became much better swimmers
*it got us up and going routinely during the unscheduled summer
*girls got great tans
*we all met fun, new friends
*we all experienced the thrill of competition during the meets
Emma wanted to quit the first day and was sure she would never return, but after a while we decided it would be worth it to try again. Here we are at the end and if she doesn't win "Most Improved" for the season they didn't get it right. She has gained soooo much from this experience. I thought the whole thing was great. Thinking about year-round swim team.
