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.

Weights for a freshman seems too young btw, but I suppose it depends on the type of exercises they have them doing.
Just curious, how old should a kid be before lifting? And why is a kid lifting more of a strain than swimming 30K a week?
Sorry that sounds snarky, but I'm genuinely curious.
