[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for all the feedback. I was a swimmer through high school so I do have an idea of what I am seeing in the pool, though it's not always obvious. They are not getting any individual feedback that I can see but I'll ask her and give it some time. I think the coach has a little too much on her plate is part of it.

I am most concerned with poor technique causing injuries - [b]I tore my rotator cuff in high school swimming too much freestyle and it's never been the same.[/b] I might take her to the pool some weekend and work with her 1:1 on the stuff I on[/quote]

This happens starting too young and swimming too much.  You know that.

Personally I am not a fan of kids joining most clubs at young ages (10&Under) for this reason. There is plenty of time with swim.  In addition those kids that start really early tend to be superstars since they are such a small number and parents start seeing "greatness" and then 13 rolls around and more swimmers have joined and catch up and they are middling.[/quote]
