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.

We had a HS junior who was lifting his usual this past winter and tore his labrum. He was out for the rest of the year and missed the HS state champs where his HS team won the state. His rehab was intense. It makes me hesitate when I hear any HS kids lifting. Their body weight is all they need at that age.
I agree with this. 14 is really young to be doing a bunch of weights.
