[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally yes. The only exception would be if they are a truly outstanding non-freestyle swimmer and they get picked to be in the 14U graduated medley which requires 4 strokes and 4 ages. For example they need a person from the 9-10 to do one of the strokes. So if you’re a 9-10 that is great at breast you might do that and then an 11-12 might do back etc. It all depends how the slots fall and what other people on your team are great at. If you have an awesome 9-10 fly person then if you’re a great 9-10 breaststroker you wouldn’t get picked UNLESS you have an even better 11-12 fly person and no 11-12 breaststroker. It is a bit of a puzzle sometimes trying to seed it. [/quote]

Ahh thank you! This is helpful. I didn’t realize there is no specific stroke for a specific age group. I always thought the 8U would swim free in that 14U medley.[/quote]

Free is definitely the most common for 8U but by no means universal. The results are listed in swimmer order BK BR FL FR on swimstandards.com so you look and see what age bracket does which stroke[/quote]
