Promising genetics?  Do they work really hard?  Are they competitive?  Passionate?

If you have these things it might get better.[/quote]

Both parents swam D1. I'm worried that's the only reason they're keeping at it, and I don't want any of my kids doing something just to impress me. I love them as they are.[/quote]

As a former D1 swimmer myself, what do you make of their technique? If one’s technique is good and they still aren’t making B times, it’s only what’s inside them that is truly preventing them from getting those times[/quote]

What do you mean by “what’s inside them?” Every swimmer with good technique is not going to be fast. [/quote]

DP.  Define "good technique" and "fast".  My kid's technique is both "good" and is very fast (A and AA times).  And yet her coach watched her technique and said several times that he can "fix" her technique so that she's faster (his top swimmers routinely get AAA and AAAA times.

As for "what's inside them," this refers to: (i) being coachable, and (ii) having the internal drive to put in the work.[/quote]
