[quote=Anonymous]I think there is also a big difference in the age groups you are talking about. It’s reasonable to think that in a 10 and under training group that there would be more fun and games in practice to keep kids engaged and reinforce a love of swimming. I think 11-13 is where it’s more difficult. You have kids in that age range who are already committed to swimming as their primary sport and are clearly headed down the elite track, and you have others that are not as committed, or not as talented, or don’t find swimming as fun as they did when they were young who will end up leaving the sport before high school. It can be hard to balance fun and work with that group because half the kids are prepping for the next level of advancement and the other half aren’t. At our club there is a low key high school group and then separate elite HS groups, and each group knows what they are getting themselves into. [/quote]
