    If a 13 year old boy swims 4 hours per day (5 am - 7 am & 5 pm - 7 pm) for 5 days each week, is that too much training?

    4 hours per day is pretty typical for 14-17-year-olds, so it does not seem out of line to me.  A detailed answer would require more information.  Does he do that schedule EVERY day (i.e., 7 days a week)?

    Jimmy, I have a proposal for a new 50m pool here on the Big Island and I need to know how to estimate cost ($$/per foot...). Can you give me any feedback on this? Thank you, Mark Noetzel Hawaii Preparatory Academy Academy Swim Club

    Hey Mark! How are you? Hope all is well! I think Stu Isaac May be the best resource for you. I cannot find his contact yet but bet I can get it.

    How large is the learn-to-swim market and what is your perspective on relevant trends within the space?

    Hope you’re doing well. As a brief intro, my name is Suman Siva and I'm an Associate at a consumer investing firm called Castanea Partners. We’re looking to learn more about the 'learn to swim market' that teaches young children how to swim through structured classes. We'd love to better understand the size of this market, as well how the market size is changing as more structured offerings emerge. Our understanding is that there are a few types of players:

     

    1)            Branded players focused on providing structured LTS classes (e.g. Goldfish swim schools, Aqua Tots)

    2)            Mom and pop and community swim programs that provide LTS classes (e.g. YMCAs)

    3)            Informal offerings (e.g. kids learning from parents, at summer camps, other teachers) 

     

    We were wondering if you would be able to connect us with someone who could speak to the market, including market size and recent trends in a consulting capacity. Look forward to hearing from you!

    Hello Coach,

    I'm Domenico, I am writing to ask you if it can give private lessons to my 8 year old daughter to improve flotation, style and technique.

    Currently my daughter is part of a club that trains in the pool of Tamiami Pool in South Miami and has done many private lessons.

    I am interested in private lessons with the coach in water with my daughter.

    If it is available, I ask you to give me a reasonable price and sustainable for a package of private lessons of 1 hours each Monday to Saturday for the whole month of June to be held in the morning.

    I await its.

    Thanks
