So, I took my 15 year old son in for his umpteenth sports physical and was told they found a heart murmer. They would not clear him for high school swimming until we have an echocardiogram. I have never, ever been told this by his old PCP. (We just moved).

This concerns me a little; because he is still club swimming (which is much more intense than high school swimming) and they didn't say a word about that. No physical is required to club swim.

He swam horribly in his swim meet this week-end and I can't help but wonder if he is worried about this test. He looked so pale and tired; he's been practicing 2 1/2 hours a day after school.

I know I'm probably worried for nothing. But I am thinking maybe he shouldn't be club swimming until we have his test on 11/3. He has already rejected this suggestion from me.

If anyone has any knowledge on the subject; please let me know.
