[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never have a kid miss 3 weeks in a school year. That’s crazy! Unless they are competing at Olympic level events but usually at that level they are homeschooled. For a regular kid that’s somewhat good, I would say 3-5 days per year would be the max that I’d allow. My kid is D1 level good and that is the max that we allow to miss. So I guess I’m agreeing to the Moco regulation listed above. [/quote] I’d posted above that my kid (not a swimmer) missed several weeks of school most years in MS and HS. It was very clear he was a D1 level player from a young age. It was definitely stressful for him to make up the work in some of the classes, but he was able to do so without any difficulty other than the long hours it required. If you end up playing a D1 sport for 4 years, you’ll also need to be excellent at time management and making up missed work, and the discipline and focus it takes to do so is helpful after college too.
