Really great post! I actually never thought about the psychological development of a child when they are attending a practice. I was swimming consistently 5 days a week at the age of 5. This was for 1.5 hours, and I loved it. Mary Fuller, my swim coach for over 13 years has had plenty of time to effect my mentality. She did a good job. As I competed nationally multiple times and have carried the skills she taught me into other fields of my life.

Thanks for the info! Keep Steeming!
