[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who asked about 9 yo’s and my kid loves to swim. She would happily do it every day. It doesn’t feel like a grind to her - she loves it. I’m more wondering if it raises the concerns about overuse of the muscles at 9. She also dances so gets some other exercise. But 9 yo is also the point at which dance is asking for 3 days a week too and we can’t make that kind of commitment to both. [/quote] I’m PP from 6:26 pm. It was not too much for my 9 year old, who was also playing club soccer three times a week (two practices and one game). His program was not high volume and we let him skip if he was tired. He has not had a swim injury or a soccer injury and he is 13 now. Proper technique and good coaches are paramount.[/quote]
