My son will probably continue to swim on a club team in college for fun. The workouts for swimming center him. Being part of a club team will provide a social group. But the demands of being on a club team are different. Paper due? Missing practice is no problem. Need to grab an extra workout after you finish the paper? No problem if there are open swim hours. He has never set his sights on the Olympics or swimming in college. He is really happy swimming club year round and having some fun on the high school team. College will be for college with activities on the side.
