Good Morning
I have posted before and as some may know I am the parent of a 13 year old age grouper. I have a question for all of you coaches and former swimmers as his mom and I have never swam competitively? How much volume should he be swimming at his age? I limit him to three hard workouts per week at this point and one dive practice. He also takes a lesson from a great private coach once a week that is just technique oriented and is just thirty minutes long. His total yardage is probably around 15K per week. Some of the other kids his age are doing twice the volume and the subtle pressure is there.
What do you suggest?
Thanks

PS I would rather he study more than swim more........

In my experience swimming less very seldom results in studying more. Whenever I was out of the water I tended to procrastinate on my school work. You feel like you've got plenty of time to do it. When you're swimming doubles you know you've got to get it done if you want to sleep that night.
