Is Swimming Eating Its Young?

Is swimming "eating its young?" Are they being burned out with mindless yardage? Do they have to do volume training for long events? Are we missing masters swimmers who were burned out as youths? As to the kids, what can we do to stop the cannabalism?

    Is swimming "eating its young?" As to the kids, what can we do to stop the cannabalism? And on this question - I support the clubs that do have it right. I know there are some out there that exist. My parents would always ask the question, "Is this reasonable?" For my family, 5 hours of training a day and 5000 yd fly sets were not reasonable. :blah:
