[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just let him swim for fun and stop pushign competative.[/quote] That’s a very simplistic and dismissive response. Some of these kids care very much about their sport and by 13, it can be a major part of their life, social circle, and identity. And timing of physical development is something that can’t be controlled. Dismissing a child’s concerns and feelings is helpful to no one. [/quote] Different poster, but I'm not sure why you're taking umbrage. Having the kid keep practicing but not sign up for meets is good advice. [/quote] If your goal is to continue being a competitive swimmer just opting out of the competitions isn’t a realistic suggestion. [/quote] Sure it is. It's the practicing where progress is made. And it's only the meets where he's 'falling behind.' Keep the practice and pause the meets until either his confidence comes back or he grows some.[/quote]
