[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, agree that height in swimming is way overstated on this board. Most of the elite senior swimmers at our club are average height (some even below) and they are already committed to very highly ranked D1 schools. Maybe if you mean the Olympics, but that’s not what most people are really after. [/quote] Height and the idea that if you are a standout at 10 you won’t be good anymore at 16 are the most overstated things on this board. Yes, there are standout 10 year olds that are all around excellent athletes that end up choosing another sport or otherwise leaving swim, but if you look at the elite swimmers almost all of them were also excellent when they were 10. None of the elite swimmers were merely average when they were young and then became elite once they hit HS. [/quote]
