[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of posters are overlooking the number of times the kid swims a week. If your kid is swimming 3xs a week and has A times, and then picks up a couple more days later on, they are likely to drop a lot of time.

You really can’t predict how a swimmer will do later. [/quote]

My kid was swimming several AAAA at 10 years with 3x practice/week (more in summer if add in summer league though those practices were mostly fun).  Went up to 4xweek at 11 and now 5xweek at 12.  Time drops in almost all strokes but hasn’t hit AAAA times again yet.  Feels like it could still happen but we will see.

Holding back on anything beyond team practice (no extra dryland until high school for example) and trying to hold off to 6xweek until 14.  Kid isn’t going to be tall but hope they like swimming through high school with chance to swim some sort of program in college if they still love it.   Seems to know distance would be the path.

Swim has been great for the Sofia aspect of nice friends and has really helped with executive function/time management.[/quote]
