Richmond Sailfish
Our son did Richmond Sails swim team at the plunge for years (2 x/week). It is structured but kind and doesn't push the competitive side of swimming. Their head coach, John, is a junior high school teacher and really gets kids, especially boys. Our program was: starting at age 8, you must get two days a week of exercise no matter what and until you find something you love, swimming is it.
Now, at 14, our son bikes and on his own does a 30 min cardio in his room most nights. We bought him a boxing glove and pad set. He's got the pads taped to his wall and includes a rigorous set of "boxing" in his workout. You might consider buying some interesting workout "tools" and having silly fun time with them. We have a wheel that you stretch to get an ab workout and it has caused much hilarity at our house . . .
