[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone humor me and explain why it’s important to have another sport? I’m assuming the poster meant team sport?[/quote]

I am not OP or PP, and my child does not have AAAA times at 10 (looked this up out of curiosity and there are maybe 6 kids total across 9-10 girls and boys who have a AAAA time or times). The reason we want our child to continue in her activities (theatre/music/dance) is because she may decide to quit swimming one day and that gives her other outlets. Like swim, it’s hard to just pick up tap or ballet at an older age.[/quote]

Wrong: 
1. 41 —9-10 year old girls have aaaa in the 50 free  alone: https://www.swimmingrank.com/zone/usa/scy_girls_5_10_50FR.html

2. 49 —9-10 yr old boys have an aaaa time in the 50 yard free alone: https://www.swimmingrank.com/zone/usa/scy_boys_5_10_50FR.html

I’m certain some of those kids overlap with another stroke but I’m also certain many will not. Since there are motivational times for 12 different events in BOTH short course and long course (24 different events total are ranked), hundreds and hundreds of kids who are 9-10 have aaaa times.[/quote]
DP, but I’m guessing that poster was referring to PVS, not the country as a whole. During this past SC season only 2 9-10 boys and 1 9-10 girl got AAAA 50 free times. [/quote]

This makes more sense but there are a ton more events than 50 free (and more if you add lcm) and therefore more kids. Many kids that age have one or maybe 2 aaaa times.[/quote]
Many is strong, I just scrolled the PVS top SC times for this season for the 10 yr old boys and girls and it looks like maybe 10-11 total boys and 5-6 total girls got a AAAA time in at least 1 event. [/quote]
