My kid is into it. I think it’s a great sport for kids today. There is a clear winner and loser - scores are kept. Not everyone gets a trophy.
That said, we are only a couple years in and haven’t hit the pace you’re at yet. I’m curious to see if my kid stays interested or if it gets to be a job.

What I like about it is that you can compete with yourself. While he didn't qualify for the best of the south in this weekend's sectionals, he improved all of his times. So, every meet can be win, even if you don't place.

It's a tough sport for sure. Ours eventually lost the love for club swimming but will probably swim for her high school team.
Early mornings, late afternoons, long practices, lots of time spent just looking down at the black line.
To me, one of the biggest issues is the long course season. Unless the kids plans to swim in college there is really no need to put middle school and junior high age kids through months of training, throughout the entire summer, training for events they will never swim in high school. Most kids, even on club teams, won't even swim competitively again after high school so you've got the masses going through training that is really applicable to a few.
