[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is 7 and going on a winter swim team. She only practices once a week. I notice as they get older and better, practice times increase, but at 7 this seems doable. She is on swim team this summer at our outdoor pool and has gotten better so much faster. It is almost magical to see how quickly her strokes have improved. She has practice 5 days a week for 30 minutes a day, then one 30 minute lesson with an instructor which she requested. [/quote] This is what one PP discussed. Swimming's potential for big gains and time improvements when you are a younger swimmer (7/8) encourage or "hook" both the athlete and parents to devote more time and commit more resources to the sport. Please let us know if your child is up to 11-11.5 hours/week of practice by the time that they are 9 years old.[/quote]
