[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are very focused on what's appropriate for a 10 yo, but I think you have to take this year by year and see how it goes. For my kid, 3x a week would have been too much when they were an 8-turning-9 yo who hadn't done club swim before. I'd call around and look for a 2x a week program for a gentler entry into the sport. Going in with so much intensity from the start would have made my swimmer quit.[/quote] Yes, I think it's a lot to jump into 3 * per week the first year. Much better to ease the child into it the first year with 1-2 per week. Some kids will complain about going to practice, which means it's probably not going to be for them, whereas others will want to take it to the next level and go to 3+ the following year.[/quote]
