And when you’re on campus, at whichever school, ask how many times a week a swimmer doing track or lacrosse or crew in the spring will get in the pool for a workout in during that spring. Sometimes those swim coaches encouraging participation in other sports will expect to see those swimmers a few times a week anyway. And sometimes they won’t, but there are probably going to be some serious swimmers on campus at many schools who are not completely out of the pool for more than a few days in a row all spring regardless of what else they’re doing for a sport.

Much depends on the school and the particular swimmers on campus. But you’ll want to get the scoop. Athletes are different, too. Your swimmer might relish the time away from the pool after working out year-round since they were six or something and look forward to playing a new or different sport. Other swimmers know that if they spend a month without practice, it seems pretty much like they’re starting over, and like it or not, they need the year-round plan to keep improving even if their goal is not Olympic trials.
