[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems crazy to me. Most of the swimmers I know swim pretty much year round. All the competitive swimmers are swimming for 13 years straight? Is there loads of burnout and injury? I have the same questions about soccer. [/quote] Swimming is a year round sport. You don't generally have 5-6 year olds doing crazy stuff. My son was 5 and did a once a week learn to swim program through a USA Swimming team that also let him do 4 mini meets. He stayed at one day a week basically instruction until he was 8, then he did two nights a week. Three days at 11 and four mornings at 14. He is not hurt or burned out-- the 4th morning was his request [/quote] I know 6 year-old kids who go to practice 4 times a week. Parents are obsessed about not missing practice. As someone else said, DMV swim culture is a bit insane.[/quote]
