[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who was a BB/A swimmer as a 14 year old boy. This year as a senior he has sectional cut times. He will be swimming D3 next year. I also know a girl who was a BB swimmer last year as a 12 year old. This year as a 13 year old she has AA times. She maybe grew a couple of inches but certainly not a crazy amount. [/quote] This happens all the time. If your kid is an AAAA swimmer at age 10, yes, they have a good shot at being great later. But BB 10 year olds can take off and surpass them. They may have not been swimming seriously at a young age, they may have not had good instruction, they may have a later growth spurt. You can also see many very fast 10U swimmers who are “maxed out” in terms of practice time, private instruction, technique etc. They don’t have as much to improve on as kids who haven’t had as much practice, technique and conditioning.[/quote]
