<p>My daughter is a high school junior and will be visiting D3 schools and swim coaches this week. Are there questions that I should be asking as a parent? I am envisioning most of the talking will be between coach and daughter. But, I don't want to be caught unprepared. I can't think of anything to ask that my daughter wouldn't be asking herself.</p>
<p>One of my parent questions was “how many students are still competing by senior year” and then the coach answered and added why. I also asked about early scheduling to have open practice times. </p>
<p>I would ask about the academic support for missing classes for travel, required study sessions, and the benefits and burdens of being on the team. The coach should admit that some sweat and toil will be required. </p>
