[quote=Anonymous]Based on a current popular thread, I suspect the responses will be all over the map! I think that 2x/week club is great for 8. My swimmer moved to 3x in 4th and 5th grades, and then 4x/week in 6th, which is their current commitment in 7th. They are a AAA+ swimmer, so this gradual transition hasn’t necessarily held them back (although I’m sure you could argue they should do more to truly excel). I would also let your child take the lead. There is a balance between burn out/dread from doing too much too soon and also not practicing enough to see the time drops that motivate them to stay with it and try hard. A good club will also help decide what is best for your swimmer each year based on their ability. Age group swimmers are ready to do more practices per week at different times. Good luck! [/quote]
