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.

Thank you all so much for your help. He does have a full year of 5 x a week swimming workouts....however this summer has been under the care of an orthopaedic dr. and physical therapist for swimming related rotator cuff problems. He has Dr. orders to stop if the rotator issue is aggrevated. His coach is aware of this, so I think I'll have him tell the coach he is experiencing "popping & grinding" just moving his arm, and we'll take it one day at a time.
