[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW- when I had younger swimmers, I definitely created my own ladder. Not to brag or discuss with anyone- but to help my kids pick their strokes. My kids were 'on the bubble' for being in A meets- focusing on breast and fly got them into a lot more meets as 8 and unders and even 9-10s then if they had just stuck with the ever popular free. [/quote] But you don't need a ladder to tell you that. The most difficult stroke - breaststroke. If your 8 year old can swim it, you will probably swim A meets. Even at 13 if you are decently fast at breaststroke you will probably be in A meets. Next is fly when little, but not as much as they get older. When they get older it is fly and back and you have to be fast. Free is a losing proposition, first stroke, easiest stroke, and a lot of kids are good at it.[/quote] Official here - more DQs in fly for 8 & unders in our division than breast. By far.[/quote]
