Looking for a Swim Team?

The benefits of joining a swim team at an early age will last a lifetime. Swimming provides a structure to the day, a twice per week after school ritual as a young child, and later on a daily basis as a senior swimmer. Dedicating a few hours to swimming will teach time management skills. As a parent, you can help by sitting down with your child and planning a schedule, allotting time for swimming, homework, dinner, and playtime. Swimming is an individual as well as a team sport. The nature of swimming, a sport measured by the clock, allows the child to set tangible goals and watch as he or she achieves them. As children work harder, they will notice improvement. In addition to competing for themselves, on a swim team, they will be a part of a larger group with a support system for their successes and failures along the way.
