[quote=Anonymous]OP, no parent ever thinks their club spends as much time as they should on technique. And for the younger swimmers, they are not strong enough or coordinated enough to have the same technique that the senior swimmers have. Coaches know that they will improve their technique with endurance work, improving their feel for the water, and getting stronger. They aren’t as worried about a weird breastroke kick at age 7 as we are. They could spend the whole practice working on technique and it wouldn’t stick at race pace. It’s weird, but that seems to be how swim works. I have two kids who have been in club swim for 6 and 4 years. [/quote]
