How many days a week for an eight year old?

Also do you forget summer swim is 5 times a week plus meets. Why is that ok if 3 days a week winter swim is too much?

Also my kid has ADHD and anxiety so complains about everything. If I didn’t make her do anything she complained about she would literally sit at home all day. So for me what’s important is does she feel good after swimming — the answer is always yes. So we have her swim 3x a week because it makes her feel good.



Because the summer swim season is 6 weeks long, and kids get a long break after it’s over. Even so, my club swimmer got kinda burnt out physically toward the second half of the summer season last summer (even though he was still having fun and enjoying it, times were not improving or getting slower, etc).
