[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is in the shower sobbing after meets about why they can't cut time, OP here.[/quote] Just tell your kid to grow up. [/quote] I sincerely hope this is a joke. OP - my club swimmer has also been adding time. We are validating their frustration, but also trying to help them keep perspective and not be hard on themselves. This is just a snapshot in time really, influenced by many factors, and does not define who they are as a swimmer or athlete. I have a close friend who swam D1 whose number one advice to me as a swim parent is not to put pressure on my kid, take it slow, and to prioritize the joy of the sport over the numbers. [/quote] Our club swimmer added time as well during various meets. Seemed like there were fast pools and slow pools, as well as coaches pushing for our kid to swim IM, which tires a swimmer out who might be looking to cut time in freestyle. [/quote]
