The 6 is the only concern but still doable. My ds2 is 3.5 and has preschool 5 afternoons and I still have him in activities. Your schedule is no busier.

For my kids, it would be too much.

Would be to much for my 3 yr old especially the 6pm.

Not for my kids, they would both have been fine with that at age 3.5.

Very kid-specific. My child would be fine and would emerge at 630 or 7pm from the swim lesson yelling "Let's go to museum!!"

really kid specific, depends on when dinner/bed is, and she may fall asleep sooner or later than she does now-

I think DD would be OK since the lessons are on opposite ends of the day. I would be absolutely run ragged, though. Sounds like a long day for YOU.

:yeahthat: Swimming especially seems to tire them out big time.

We probably could swing it but I'd rather spread that out over two different days if possible both for her and for me.

Yup, they are tired and starving after swimming. I feel totally wiped out after *I* swim, I would not want to go to dance class later on in the day, and I'm an adult, lol.

Has she done swim lessons in the past? I think this really depends on the kids, and I do know some who probably wouldn't do well with doing both classes. That said my kids (4.5 and 2.5) would have no problems doing both. My 4.5 year-old does preschool in the morning and does swim lessons in the late afternoon (no nap). His swim lesson is pretty swim intensive (next level is 60 minute lessons, so they are trying to build endurance), and he is still running around wild after the lesson.
