Just wondering what other USA teams do insofar as breaks during the year. When I grew up, depending on what meets you qualified for, I remember taking off from mid-April until about mid-May. The next break was usually early August until Labor Day.
The team that my son swims on does not take a break. Is that what other USA teams do these days or do most still take at least a couple week break once or twice a year?
Mine is just about to turn 11, so I'm building in breaks for him as I recognize the need. Since mid-August, he has only had a one week break when the pool was closed. He just finished his season as a 9-10 year old, so I'm letting him skip this week and play basketball in our backyard.
I'm curious to hear if and when other programs work in breaks.
I practice and am a member of a local USA team and we have only taken break for about 2 weeks in August in the past. But this year we have a brand new pool to use as a back up so I have a feeling the break will be even smaller. Maybe a week or so.
