[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many times the kids who are big (not just tall) and powerful at the younger ages end up being too big/heavy for swimming long term. Swimming is a sport that favors the naturally long and lean body type. [/quote]

Not our experience.  Big powerful kid is turning to big powerful teen, still smoking the skinny guys.  It’s training and diet.   Muscle makes a difference.[/quote]

Wow, Very humble and kind.  :roll: Hope you didn’t pass your nastiness on to your kid. [/quote]

You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder about this.  Nothing I said was unkind.  I said that I have a big kid who is still fast, and goes against the “long and lean” stereotype, and beats the kids who “look” like swimmers in your mind. You don’t have to look a certain way to be fast and the stereotype is frankly harmful.  Body comp and fitness is more important.[/quote]

You don't think it's unkind to say your kid "[b]smokes[/b] the skinny guys?" You sound like such a jerk, and like you have a complex about your/your kid's body type.[/quote]

No.  I don’t! Lighten up Francis! [/quote]
