6000 yrds - 5 X Week

6k a day is not very much many teams do more the issue is how accustomed the athlete is to that workload how it was phased in for an athlete who isn't used to training that much. the yards per day is one issue, how the athletes do the yards is the key issue After week one, that's what our local High School Swim team's workouts consist of, even for relative newcomer freshmen. My 14 yr. old grandson has been swimming for just over a year competitivly. He was in rehab most of the summer for rotator problems. I understand there are several on the team with shoulder problems. Is this amount of yardage the norm? I should add, they do some dry land & weights in addition. It occurs to me that a "one size fits all" workout might be easy for some, and big problem for others? Thanks for your insight. Georgio
