A bit different, though; we got Sundays off. You know how precious those Saturday nights are for you and your boys… now imagine going to a Sunday AM after🤨.
99% of colleges don’t have Sunday AMs either. Shit would be brutal; I agree. But no, we would do 2 practices in one day. Pretty much Monday through Friday, 4-6 PM practice, then Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 6-8 AM practice.
I think you need 2 days off. After taking a break, the body recovers and your mental health going from no practice and having fun to a day of practice will help you get more productive in the long run. You will be doing swimming for years to come; you don’t want to get drained so early.
You need a day off each week. Even top athletes take a day off. Rest & recovery are just as important.
I was a 4:28 500 at 16 about a decade ago, and 7 days a week is BLASPHEMY. Go have some fun, man.
No dishonor in swimming 6 days a week lol.
Recovery is where you actually get better.
