DS 7 swims and does gymnastics. Both help with his strength and coordination for his writing issues. We insisted on the swimming, partially because there are aspects that he is good at which is good for him to have in a physical activity and also DeeDee's falling off a boat aspect. Gymnastics came about because we insisted he have another sport and we asked him which he liked best from camp and he chose gymnastics. He does both on the weekends because he absolutely refuses to do anything after school. We have allowed that because he has a long day, has homework and seems to really need the downtime to read and work his imagination. He has never been the go to the playground kind of kid.
Before school he did soccer and music nod all sorts of stuff, but now a t this age, I let him make the choice within the parameter that he needed to do a sport. He will get a musical instrument next year in school.
