[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS kid goes to both practices during the HS swim season since he likes both teams. He isn't looking to swim in college and isn't uber competitive, just enjoys it.

HS practice 4:00p-5p
Gets back to school 5:30ish
Home for 90m or so
Club practice 8p-9p

This is 2x/week -  the 2 other days he does HS dryland + club swim

HS meets are Friday evenings. Club meets are Saturdays and/or Sundays.[/quote]

I’m confused by a 1 hr club practice. I’ve never seen that before except for very young kids. Which club is that?[/quote]

PAC[/quote]

They run 2-hr practices for older/more skilled kids.

And to be fair, once its evident your kid is not a future Olympian or at least collegiate, its kind of silly to send them to 8-12h a week of swim practice. I mean...for what?[/quote]
This is the same for any sport. My kid is only in MS so we aren’t thinking of college swim yet, but they practice 8 hours a week because they love it, their teammates are their best friends, it’s a good physical outlet, and it’s way better than sitting at home texting and scrolling a phone. The value of sports for many kids does not solely boil down to are they going to be able to do this at the next level.  [/quote]
