[quote=Anonymous][quote]At our pool to be on 8U/real swim team they need to be able to swim across the entire pool and keep up with the pace of practice.[/quote] We don't have a mini team and just ask that kids be able to swim 25m without grabbing the lane line or wall. It doesn't even have to look like freestyle. They just have to get across the pool. Kids in the beginner 8u lane often use kickboards and fins to help them through practice, just like kids would in a normal swim lesson when working on skills. There's also still a lot of fun time and games during practice, so it's not like practice is 45 minutes of laps. It is amazing to see the range of skills from the left side of the pool to the right. Right now we have a tiny 7 yo with an AS time in fly who looks like the next Michael Phelps swimming in the same pool with kids who are barely managing not to drown.[/quote]
