[quote=Anonymous]11-12 and 13-14 are both big transitions. My swimmer transitioned from 10U to 11-12 over the summer and it’s an adjustment for the kids who were at the top of their age group when they were 10 to go back to middle of the pack and just trying to make champs cuts in their best events. You also in the 11-12 group have kids that didn’t start year round swimming until 9 or 10 that start overtaking the swimmers who have been with the club since they were 7, which leads to some interesting dynamics. I’ve noticed it more amongst the boys, but the size differences within the 11-12 age group are also very noticeable. I don’t have personal experience with the 13-14s but my DDs teammates who made that transition last season experienced similar things. [/quote]
