Baseball

If you want to make the kids happy during the shoot let them do whatever they want to. If you take this approach add about 50% more time to the shoot. Don't expect as many happy parents when the photos arrive. Why? Extra items such as buttons and key chains do not work well with the "game ready" pose of the bat way up in the air or hands way over the head as if in mid wind-up.

Conversely, the basic bat in hands "conservative" stance lends itself well to a variety of resale items. Remember, Grandma wants to see junior's face, smile and open eyes. By using the same pose for each kid also protects you from the "why didn't my kid get that pose" argument.

As for swimming, good luck. Just hope they have warm-ups.
