Practices usually are only 2 hours for recreation practice. There is a practice from 3 until 5. That is the high school practice. That is the practice that I am at. There also is another practice that is from 5 until 7. That is for the faster younger kids. There also is a 7 until 9 practice. That is for our new swimmers that just joined. For all of the high school kids  and  some of the faster kids in 7th and 8th grade there is a practice before school from 5:45 until 6:45 in the morning. That's where I go in the morning. All of the afternoon practices are every day. The morning practices for the girls are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The boy go on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings. Practice normally isn't that hard, but at times it is. We have days that are hard days and we have days that are recovery (easy days) days.
