[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not totally sure what happened with DC, 7, tonight but he went from performing among top 3 swimmers in team to the bottom three.[/quote] You've gotten really good advice. But it struck me also that you're measuring success based on placement and not times. It's important for you to remember that your kid has no control over other kids' times. There might be new, faster kids joining the team, or kids who make big improvements quickly. What your kid can try to do over time is to swim faster and improve his personal times. Even then, there will be ups and downs, and that's normal. [/quote]
