[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My newly turned 13 yo daughter has reached her full height at 5’4, is done with the puberty changes, and has never been “thick/muscular” OR “super skinny.” My best description would be average build and very fit. She’s definitely never been tall, usually mid range height in comparison to her peers. She’s not a speedster either—for 11/12 she averaged BB times on free/back, and B times on fly/breast. It seems this group is telling me she’s doomed to stay at those times despite continuing work on technique, increased conditioning, and top notch coaching.  I hope that’s not the case—she loves the sport and works hard. I hope to see her bump up at least to BB and A times but who knows. We (and I mean both her and myself) don’t have aspirations for a glorious college swim career, just average participation in the high school swim team and a continued love of swimming that she can carry on to adulthood and use to stay active. Is there room in the swim scene for these types of swimmers?

I know two girls who continued to improve.  One went from B times to BB times while another went from BB times to A.

My daughter knows one girl better than the other.  She says the slower swimmer is a very hard worker.
