Finally we have more sports discussion on this forum! Really love the
baseball and soccer daddy post. Decide to share my son's swimming journey
for the reference of interested parties. (Sorry my writing will be dry and
has to be in English.)
1) About 4.5 yrs old:
Started swim class, once a week, progress is 3 steps forward, 1 step
backward. He liked it since he likes to play in the water.That initial
passion kept him going for about 6 months.
2) Natural passion died, want to quit:
I put a new swim pant (with shark pattern he liked) next to his bed. He woke
up, surprised and happy. Went back for another month.
3) Talking about signing out again:
Moved him to 1 on 1 private class with the coach he liked the most. Went on
for another 3 months.
4) Finally quit for about 6 months.-- I can't think of anything else to
encourage him to stay. Plus we moved to the other side of the town, further
away from the swim class location.
5) His sister loves swimming and we decided to start her swim class. My son
is very concerned the little sister will beat him soon, so he decided to
rejoin swim class to just stay ahead of her. We started to drive across the
town weekly.
6) This time his body is more ready, he surprisingly progressed really fast
(with coach evaluation, skipping steps/classes while progressing). He got so
motivated, started to love swimming. Want to go there early to watch swim
team, thinks about how to swim on the way to the class, want to practice on
his own after the class. etc. etc. But he is very firm he will not join swim
team after graduation from swim class.
7) I joined swim class myself. I know breaststroke, what's the harm to learn
all the other styles myself and get some exercise? Now we have a meaningful
casual discussion at dinner table about swimming. Both kids liked the fact
daddy is also swimming and became more passionate about the topic.
8) One day my son asked:"what really is swim team about?". I gave out the
answer I prepared already:"It's about medal, certificate and trophy." As
expected, he said:"Sign me up!"
8) Now my estimate is he will graduate from all swim classes in 2 months (he
will turn 6 then). Graduation means all movements (freestyle, butterfly,
breaststroke, backstroke) are legal and can swim 25 meters length back and
forth (total 50 meters) with very little rest.No measurement of speed yet.
From parents eyes, he swims beautifully now. And he asks to swim everyday.So
far the class we took has always been once a week, and we can't take him
for practice everyday either, hope we can do more during summer break to
meet his ask.
What I'm proud of myself is there was no tear nor over push involved. It's a
happy journey with some strategic influence involved.
We also provided him opportunities to do a number of other sports, he loves
every one of them so far. Swim journey is the longest so far and with the
most struggle, document to provide some reference value to parents facing
sports dilemma from time to time.
