Punishment?

So my swim coach might have reached a new unknown level of dumb-ness. A few weeks back he told everyone that if you weren't averaging 7 workouts for two weeks he would kick us out of the Senior group and make us swim with the Junior group for two weeks. So as being a senior, probably not swimming next year, and having better things to do, I failed that on Monday. So as I am leaving for swim practice, my sister says to me, "There is an e-mail for you." So I read it, and it proceeds to tell me that I must practice with them for the next to weeks to be able to move back into the Senior group. It is so dumb.

Senior Group:
9 practices a week
Each practice at least 2 1/2 hrs
2x 5 am practices/week

Junior Group:
4 practices a week
Each pracitce is 1 1/2 hours
Zero 5 am practices

I mean I am not a rocket scientist but it seems like I am being rewarded for not going to practice, with having to go to less practices. Not only that but the practices are beyond easy, so what the heck is the point? Only downfall is, the practices don't start til 6:30 everyday, what am I supposed to do from 12:15 to 6:30?!?! Homework? Ha, good one!

Thanks for caring.
