[quote=Anonymous]Welcome to swimming as a 14 year old girl. I too was a AAA swimmer who had big time drops at 13. Then 14 and 15 suuucked. I could not drop time in my best events despite working so hard. I focused on other events because I was so frustrated. Finally at 16 I got through the plateau and went on to swim 4 years of D1 with my very last race being a best time. I wouldn’t worry much about not dropping time at the first fall meet. And if it ends up being the first sign of a plateau, just be supportive and follow your child’s lead. I was so cranky about it (and cranky in general at that age) and my parents nagging me asking why I was not dropping time would NOT have been helpful. The fact that they stayed out of it other than driving me to the pool probably helped me not quit. [/quote]
