[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last month my 12-year-old daughter did 6 different events at a tournament, finishing with: AAA, AAA, AAA, AA, AA, AA

Should we begin taking swimming more seriously? I can never tell if the enthusiasm is genuine or if people are just being really nice. Sorry if dumb question; me nor my husband are sporty people.[/quote]

Three AAA for a girl prior to 13 is very good, especially if these are mid and long distances. If these are fifties, still pretty good, just take  into account that girls won’t drop much time on 50s of strokes after age 13 and competition for college in fifties is insane.

Your daughter definitely has abilities to make those college times in older age groups, assuming increased training load. But of course, nobody would tell if she suddenly drops out from swimming  or starts partying in high school and stops improving. [/quote]

Thank you! What's mid and long distance? Her events for those finishes were 50, 50, 100, 200, 200, 200.[/quote]
