[quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old did 3 years of swim team in 8 & unders and then decided she’s more of a diver. She has a decent freestyle, a kind of passable breaststroke, but no flip turns or pullouts and I couldn’t tell you what her back and fly look like. She’s a strong swimmer and does open water races but she doesn’t do pool workouts.

We were lucky to get time on the schedule of everyone's favor swim team coach at our summer club and DD is going to do 6-8 lessons with her before the coach goes back to college.

My goal is to get DD to the point that she could easily pop back into summer swim team if she wanted to and/or do lap swimming for fun without looking tragic or not knowing what to do.

Swim team parents, do you have a list of 3-5 things she could work on that would make swim team or lap swimming painless?

I don’t remember the trajectory of what I learned and at what age. I’ve always been a swimmer and do masters now and my goal is for DD to not show up at a pool in 10 years looking like one of those triathlon dads and floundering down the lane.[/quote]
