[quote=Anonymous]The front crawl (freestyle) is often the focus of initial young swimmer development. They have to learn the breathing pattern and build stamina otherwise they won't be able to keep up with their "training" group. Backstroke is challenging for a lot of kids but comes naturally to others, like yours. Some people teach breaststroke first. Breathing pattern is aided by stroke cycle. Hang in there, your kid will figure it out with time. Swimmers that can't do freestyle don't really exist on swim teams. Fun and games will come later after the team gets into a routine and kids get into "swim" shape.[/quote]
