My 10 year old son is not terribly athletic, but he loves to swim so we signed him up for a swim team. It's not a competitive team and the coaches are very supportive, but our son is adamant that he does not want to continue with the swim team. He breaks down in uncontrollable tears and says he doesn't want to go because it's "too hard". Should we force him to go? Both my husband and I think he will really like it if he expends a bit of effort and becomes better, but I'm not sure it's worth the battle and tears.
