[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The club says that 6 practices are available (for example) but 70% are required and then the next level is, like 7 are available and 80% are required. At a certain point they move to two practices a day. The problem we're running into is that although only x% are required, the culture is that each practice must be attended. My older DS is really good at setting limits and saying "I will go to this number of practices each week and that's it." His limits are very practical. The younger DS is all caught up in it and fights it when we try to scale him back. It's not that the club isn't knowledgeable because they are very knowledgeable but it's a machine designed to churn out top swimmers and I actually don't think they're very concerned about anything else. I'm going to make him step back. As PPs said, summer swim doesn't really even register as much swimming at all but the club is crazy.[/quote]
