[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes how fast kids grow has a huge effect on these rough stages. Some boys are super tall at age 12/13 and really shine. They may peak there and watch everyone else pass them by a few years later. Coaches have also told me some boys shoot up so fast that their stroke suffers for a while. For my son who is not very big, ages 11-13 were brutal. Even though the height difference is bigger now, for some reason he’s been able to strength train enough to narrow the gap as an older teen. Fifteen can be a really tough year because they are competing with almost 19 year olds. Usually by 15, experienced swimmers expected this transitional year and know they have time on their side so it’s not as hard to see themselves at the bottom of the results as it was when they were 11 or 13.
