I won't go into any details because I don't know who might be reading this, but after my son's first day of USS he does not want to go back. He hadn't been in the water in 6 weeks (summer rec)and worked so hard (swam over 500 yards!) and did some of the best kicking (compared to the other kids with fins!).
I won't make him go back, but we now need to find a way to get him feeling good about what he HAS accomplished in swimming.
Anybody else, swimmers themselves for a long time, teach their own children to swim? We originally didn't want to, but we are now convinced that that is the best thing for our son. Help please :)
Karen, shop around for the next couple of years and see if maybe there is a more suitable team for him. In our little town there is two USA teams. In the town 45 minutes away there are 4 USA teams. So there usually are options. Also, teams can change in a couple of years. In the meantime, keep doing the summer rec, and keep him swimming as much as he wants to.
