[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]generalizing, but the parents that are pushing the kids like this genuinely think it will help their kids be the best they can be. and they shine at 14u champs. but after that...does burnout, injury, quitting the sport altogether happen? anecdotal, but a lot of the kids i've seen get a ton of private lessons when they're young tend to be the ones that hate swimming by the time they get to high school[/quote] Swimming in high school, yes. Swimming for a high school, usually. Swimming club competitively? I think that there is a huge drop off and a lot of kids fade out, quit, join less competitive groups, or find a new sport that they can do well in.[/quote]
