[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS12 started swimming late at age 9. He has improved steadily and went from being DQed to getting into A meets once or twice. He is 4th so doesn’t get picked. He is hungry for more and is starting to get disappointed because he is so close. It doesn’t help that the kids who get picked are his good friends. He does year round swim 2x/week. How can we help him get better and/or manage expectations? If you were in a similar situation, did your son find it useful to continue? [/quote] If he swims for club, the main focus/expectation should be getting into JO cuts. summer swim is just for fun and all about short distance. our pool has many 25m champions who never made to JO. also some kids (like mine) made to JO but didn't make to A meet. but they are super happy not to get up early to swim A meet, instead, they do all the volunteering works, cutting ribbons, announcers, breaking down tents etc, and got all the leftover junk good.
