[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I think different kids need different amounts of sleep. My oldest is up every day at 4:30 for practice, but needs the most sleep so typically in bed by 8:30. My youngest is also a swimmer but tends to needs less sleep - even as a baby. Generally if we have a meet with prelims and finals, my oldest will take a short 20 minute nap. Any longer and it’s tough getting your energy back up to compete. That said, I know several teen swimmers (and division 1 swimmers) that will nap 2+ hours if there is time. I get that some are resistant to programs with early practices or doubles, but it really prepares swimmers to perform when exhausted. [/quote]
