[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a Tysons parent but live nearby and it’s the most popular club at our summer pool.  Multiple parents of 9-10s approached me, fleeing me what I wrote above- pushing 4 days, etc. and as a result asked about our club’s commitment, facilities, etc.  By age 10, most of those kids rarely/never did summer practices, but did want to swim in A meets.  Some at age 10/11 were swimming 6 days/ week.

I’m not a Tyson’s parent but my kid at a different site has gotten to know the Tyson’s coaches and absolutely loves them. I will call BS on the claim that their 10/11 year olds are swimming 6 days a week. Their practice schedule is on the NCAP website and they do not even offer 6 practices a week for 10 year olds, and only their very best 11 year olds are eligible for a group that is offering 6 practices per week. The Bronze 1 group, which only the advanced 9-10 year olds are eligible for, offers 4 days a week, 75 minutes a practice. That is not an absurd amount of practice for an advanced swimmer, it’s 5 hours per week if a kid attends all practices. My kid at age 10 also rarely did summer swim practices because most of the summer swim 10 year olds that weren’t year round were focused on basics. It was pointless for my kid to be there, the other kids their age would get salty at them, and our summer coaches encouraged the club swimmers to continue club practices so they could focus on the kids that were barely legal in the strokes. As a teen my kid now attends more summer swim practices to see friends and help coach the little ones. [/quote]
