Stop going to meets just to watch your kid and start going to meets to watch swimming! After all, it is something that interests your kid enough to spend countless hours in the pool. Embrace it. Get to know the sport and share it with your kid. Instead of reading the paper, spend that time at meets understanding each event: what is the difference between a medley relay and an IM, what is a fast time, who are the good swimmers and good teams. You'll find the boredom will disappear and be replaced with excitement...the same kind of excitement your kid has for the sport. Then you can both have a positive time, and maybe even talk about it on the car ride home! Aside from the humidity comment, I hear the rest all too often and I think it’s a shame.

But I think it is truly worth it in the end. I hope Zoe can swim in august. Good luck to the both of you! All of this is true about swimming, its a lot of hard work for everyone involved.
