[quote=Anonymous]I would say that for most 7yo swimming club, they are ready physically to swim 2x per week.  The questions are do they want to and how busy are they with other sports/activities.

What we do and have done at this age is vary a bit from week to week - sometimes 2, sometimes 3 and on rare occasion 4... the latter being when there is a meet coming up and we are trying to get some extra time in the water in advance of the meet.  On those occasions, we'd back off and do only 1 practice the following week.

My current DC around this age is 6 and this similar to what we are doing except he hasn't done 4 in a week yet but has done some 3s in the weeks leading up to the meet.

A pp made a good point above which is let the DC take the lead and listen to them - you can suggest it but leave it up to them -- there have been times where it would have been good to get in some extra sessions in on meet week but DC was tired or wanted to do something different or there was a conflict with another activity and so we didn't.  Not a big deal.

Good luck to your swimmer!
