[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely appropriate. Our team insisted that young kids have other interests and would not allow more than 2 days a week until older. Find a reasonable club like that: if they only offer 3+ days for that age group, run. There is good reason for this approach, btw. Swimmers do not develop into their best swim physique until after puberty (and age 21-26 is peak for swimming). The most difficult age to keep kids swimming is from roughly 7th to 10th grade. Most kids quit before they have a chance to reach their potential. So a good club will do what it can keep a kid in the pool, but to prevent burn out before high school.[/quote]
