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]

I think that's a decent improvement in freestyle. Some swimmers of the same age at our team have times close to that. 
For new swimmers technique makes a big difference and on our team they don't get a lot of help with that. My DS improved his times when he got private lessons to help with technique.[/quote]

Both very respectable times for 10 and 8. For the 10 year old it's the turn that is difficult to learn in one summer. I have a year round swimmer who still loses a lot of time on the turns.[/quote]

I doubt a 10 yo brand new to swim team is working on flip turns. [/quote]
