Interesting swimming article -- yes, swimming

Love this! Absolutely relevant to parents of all athletes and their coaches. Wish there was more of this to go around. I can't help but feel sorry for the kids of so many well-meaning but overzealous parents today.

Great article. Thanks for posting.

Swimming at the highest level is an incredible grind. I was a borderline Age Group swimmer until I was 12 when I couldn't take getting up at 5AM and swimming 3 or 4 miles before school and doing it again in the afternoon. Spend three hours a day with the water swooshing past your ears with only your own thoughts and the coaches whistle and you can lose your mind. Brutal sport to be good at but man you get into unbelieveable shape.

Sometimes more is just more and not productive.
