[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her daughter turns 10 in the fall. At 10, yardage starts increasing, especially for girls. Only a warmup should be at least 600 (ideally a 1000), to prevent injury. Total yardage of 2500 per session would be completely adequate. 10-12 yo is where the heart capacity increases significantly, as well as height, body mass. Withoout adequate training a swimmer won’t be able to sustain added events as she gets older. Going to meets unprepared also carries trauma risk. At 10 it’s time to try 200s, and to prepare for a 200 you must swim at least 2000 of that stroke in training regularly, without much rest. 
How do you have technique settle down without yardage? All sports are based on repetitive motion learning. There must be both aerobic and technique sessions offered in a good program. [/quote]

They aren't doing 600 to warm up. They did 200m and my kid sat there after she finished and waited for everyone else to finish. I didn't count laps but my guess would be they did about 1500m workout.[/quote]
