We finally bit the bullet and changed swim teams. It got to the point that things were not going to improve. After a year of waiting, and listening to empty promises and excuses we left. We completed the season with our team at the championships this past weekend and it was over. TT really loves swimming but the coach of our old team was killing his enthusiasm. It is hard to get kids excited about something if; 1) they don't improve their skills due to the coaches lack of well "coaching abilities" 2) the coach misses 3 out of 4 practices a week on a regular basis or 3) when the said coach is out, two of the three "assistant coaches" do not have any real competitive swim experience.
With all this said. We held on for months. We kept thinking it will get better. But it didn't and after a while you just get tired of waiting. Our choice of teams has caused quite the controversy but I think it is the right choice for us.
