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.
my son is 11 and his swimming break runs through the month of august. We general cruise right into long course after short course and fortunately have a long course pool , although strangely enough the school district does allow us the use it in the summer. Weird...
