[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very surprised to learn that there are 4:30am training practice for ES kids. 9 years old waking up super early for practice. My kid’s group offers that, but we have never been. The other higher level groups for the same age require at least one early morning practice. At my son’s level, it’s optional, but we are still encouraged to do it.

ES starts at 9:25am and is it even healthy (or reasonable) to ask 9-10 years old to wake up at 4am for swim practice? We just can’t do it, and I guess my kid will never be an “elite” swimmer.[/quote]

You aren’t forced to do this, you know.[/quote]

With RMSC, if you want to stay at junior 1 or junior select, one morning of 4:40, 4:45 is mandatory.  The time for junior 2 sucks as well.  This is really difficult and pretty much forcing 9-13 year old kids swim so early. [/quote]

I also initially thought their junior 2 time sucks big one. But it turns out actually much more sane than many other programs. Only one PM during weekday, no fuss of commute in rush hours. two during weekends one 7:30 and one pm. We had 
plenty of time to play video games and doing projects and other sports. Kids are allowed to attend 4:45 AM practice. There are 3. Some families do. But we tried to stay away from those uber competitive parents. half junior 2 kids still make to PVS champs anyway…[/quote]

So anyone who does 4:45 is uber competitive by definition 
but your schedule means you are not?  Lol.[/quote]
