[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think doubles are standard at the college level. You do need to consider the burn out.  You DS is not even in HS yet and already burned out.  That's not good.  I myself was burned out after HS and choose to swim Division III instead of Division I because I wanted the freedom to quit in college (never did quit but would have hated to have the pressure of a partial scholarship). It's a high burn out sport and not a life you want if you're already burned out in 8th grade.  [/quote]

Yes, I understand. My son swims at a very fast team (many older kids are faster already than those Division 1 conferences finalists). But he refuses to wake up mornings, and is telling he can’t do it anymore, as it’s been 4 years. He says he could do it for college if there is a goal for Olympic trials and a great trainer, but at the moment he primarily wants to train at a smaller team without morning wake-ups, at least for a few years. I found an intense program for him that trains 4-5 hours on weekends instead of extra mornings before school. But do think my son would be able to switch back to mornings in college if he stops training mornings in middle-high school? [/quote]
