[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is too much for a 9-year old. 8 practices a week plus two meets plus private coaching sessions? If this is something your kid really loves, explain that it's important to stay healthy and develop overall as an athlete and as a person. Cap the number of practices (maybe no more five a week) and/or consider not sending a kid swimming year-round to summer swim practices. If year-round swim is a priority, tell the summer swim coach your kid won't be doing the summer practices, just the meets. Or, have your kid pick and choose an appropriate number of weekly practices and meets from what is offered. [/quote] For a 9 year old this is totally backwards. Summer swim is fun and a kid who loves swimming should not miss it. It is a break from the winter program which should coincide with the school year at that age. Agree with others that the problem here is the winter team schedule.[/quote]
