[quote=Anonymous]So think of swimming in categories. Initially time drops happen with learning efficiency of swimming/technique. Think younger kids. This is when a small swimmer with technique can be faster than a larger inefficient and even stronger swimmer. After the learning of technique the next time drops will occur with some increase of endurance coupled with a kid growing. The next bout of time drops will happen. The final drops (after puberty) is when a swimmer goes to daily training and occasional doubles (this should be AFTER puberty when the body can handle it and to decrease the chance of injury or burnout). A kid might get faster at puberty and still be sloppy with technique and make improvement s in a different order. Puberty can also hose a swimmer or mess up their efficiency in the water.[/quote]
