[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here are some realistic check-points: Is he a year-round swimmer? Has he done 100 IM before? Does he have all-star times in at least 2 of the 4 events? If the answer is yes to at least 2 of the above questions and he actually wants to do it, then yes, see what the coach thinks. [/quote] Other than “has he done it before?” I don’t see how any of those are requirements. Can you explain?[/quote] NP, but since the youngest grouping for IM is 12 U, you generally do not see a lot of kids under the age of 10 swimming it unless they are year rounders that already have the endurance for it. The ability to sprint a 25 at age 8 doesn’t really correlate to doing a 100. That being said, OP if your kid wants to try it and the coach says he can (our coaches won’t let a kid try it until they feel the kid is ready for it) let him, especially since it’s the 1st event and won’t require you sitting around for 3 hours waiting.
