[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]

This is specific to RMSC Rockville. The other sites (or my kid’s RMSC site, anyway) do not have any early morning practices for juniors.[/quote]
