[quote=Anonymous]My kids are strong swimmers. For one, his success is mostly because of time spent in the pool (and some innate breaststroke ability, which seems to be a niche thing). She tried out for RMSC early (7) because her older sibling wanted to try out, got in, and had been at it ever since. Is not a total stand out but consistently places first or second on our big summer team and is in an advanced practice group. Older sibling did not get in but continued less intense year round swim for years (a couple lessons/practices a week) to stay competitive. Then he hit puberty and some genetics kicked in (tall and broad shouldered) and he got really good. For them, and others I know, seems a combination of consistent swimming and, at older ages especially, having the right build for it. [/quote]
