[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are different things being discussed- are they plenty of area clubs that will happily take swimmers who want to swim somewhere between 2-3 days a week?  Yes, absolutely.   Can those same swimmers make JO cuts?  eh- maybe, probably not especially as they get older.  If your goal is to have a JO cut as a 10 or 12 year old, then go all in and swim 4-5 days a week.  If your goal is to have a happy well rounded kid, who enjoys swimming and also enjoys other things? Then swim 2 days a week, do other things too- let the kid decide when they want to start swimming more.  There is plenty of research to show that swimming performance before puberty doesn't tell you much about what will happen post puberty.[/quote]

Which clubs offer swimmers 2-3 days/week, for 12 and up?  People make it sound like there’s no middle ground for clubs and if there are other options, I’d love to hear about them.  Toll is expensive AF and the practice times are very limited.  If the choice is between larger clubs and small, expensive ones with limited options, that’s not much of a choice.  Maybe we’ll just have to take what we can get.[/quote]
