[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a very fast swimmer as a little kid. Set a state record for 9 year old breaststroke.

I attribute it to 1) height. I grew really early and was consistently the tallest girl in my grade through middle school. 2) learned to swim early (age 3) because my mother loved swimming and took me swimming all the time as a toddler. 3) I loved swimming, and wanted to do it all the time. 4) starts and turns. A coach taught me a breaststroke pull out around age 6, and I just loved the feel of it. I would practice it for fun a lot. The feel of the water rushing past you with a good pullout is still a feeling I really enjoy.

For what it’s worth I did not continue to be an elite swimmer as I got older, especially as my peers caught up on height. I swam in college, but I was a good but not great division 3 swimmer in college. [/quote]

this is a very good example... parents, stop expecting too much from your kids, provide adequate support, let them figure out the rest themselves
