Ok but 5 days a week still likely means that kid is only swimming. No time for other sports, already specializing at ages 9-10.

Doing something for 45 minutes of your day means there is no time to do anything else???[/quote]

I don't really understand this 45 minutes of your day comment- we are talking about club swimming.  I'm not aware of any club swim practice that is 45 minutes- minimum is one hour, frequently if it is 1.5 hours.  I have one kid who swims 1.5 hours 3x a week.  That means that about 40 minutes after they get home from school, they need to be getting in a swim suit and departing for the pool.  They get home from swimming about 6:30pm, fairly tired, need to eat dinner, do homework etc.  My other kid swims 1 hour 2x a week.  That kid definitely has more time, but that 1 hour represents time in the water- the actual time to get to and from swimming is still more like 2 hours- when you include driving and changing time (and definitely some dawdling in the showers with friend's time).

8&U club practices are often 45 mins[/quote]
