[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is in the middle school, so it's more of a practical, going forward question. Our private school swim team is pretty slow comparing to his best times.  He is much younger, but already faster than their fastest 16 y.o.  (by a huge margin, would lap on hundreds). He was asking if he had to attend the workouts with his school team if he was to join, and how his workouts would look like with such speed discrepancy. Kids in year-round swimming are worked to the limit, and he can't afford slow workouts before school. He badly needs sleep.

What does it give in practical terms to participate in meets for your HS, but not doing any workouts with them? He can socialize with his classmates anyway, outside pool. [/quote]

Gotcha. Our high school team and others we visited just asked that he please attend at least one team practice a week (it is a very short season), but to please also keep up his regular training schedule. So in the end it amounted to one extra practice that was "fun" and a handful of spirited school meets. [/quote]
