[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What were the rest of the times, OP?

For the 10 yo, she started at 1:05 for backstroke and ended at 1:02. For freestyle, she started at 1:01 and ended at 58 seconds.

For the 8 yo, she started at 32 seconds for freestyle and ended at 28 seconds.

They are both athletic and do well at other sports (soccer, basketball, gymnastics). [/quote]

My children are on a big team and I don't think the times are that bad, its the lack of improvement from time trials to the end of the season that is unusual. I'm wondering if they improved a lot in the time from the very first practice to time trials (usually 2-3 weeks of daily practice after school).  The backstroke time is decent for a 10 yo, a 28 second freestyle for an 8 yo is pretty average esp for the first year doing swimming. Maybe their age groups on your team just had a lot of really fast swimmers which made them seem slower by comparison. They definitely wouldn't have been the absolute slowest on our swim team in those age groups. [/quote]
