[quote=Anonymous]To add on to what many other PPs have said, you have to remember that a most 9 year old’s brains are typically unable to focus on more than 1-2 things at a time and given almost all 9 year olds have more than 1 thing wrong with each stroke coaches then have to choose what is the most important thing to focus on first because if they try to do everything at once it will just go over that kids head and nothing will get better.

With that, as it relates to what is happening with your child, and just breastroke in general, the way your child’s arms are going forward has a very minimal impact especially compared to something the kick. For example if tour swimmers has an extremely wide kick where their knees also come forward to where they have zero propulsion from the kick so then a coach would likely ignore the arms and solely focus on the kick as if you don’t fix that at a young age it’s guaranteed they will never be able to do a good efficient fast breaststroke even though the arms are “clearly not right”.[/quote]
