[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is considered elite at 10? Just curious how you define that.[/quote] To me, I consider the AA/AAA swimmers and above at 10 to be elite. I do think you see some movement at 11-12, like the kids that didn’t start club swim until age 9 or 10 who find their groove by the time they age up and continue that progression through the 11-12 group. We have a couple kids like that in our group, great by the end of 9-10, and really continued their improvement with A/AA 11-12 times as 11 year olds.[/quote] I think that is the missing element to the whole "if you aren't swimming at least B level times by 10 you aren't swimming D1". When the kids start cannot be overlooked. I've seen several kids who didn't start until 8-9 and it took a couple of years before they really take off and caught up to everyone else.[/quote]
